On Thursday, May 19, 2016, the Association "PERPATO", in collaboration with the 6th Primary School of Komotini, organized the action of the "Paralympic day at school". The action took place in an enclosed area of the school as well as in the courtyard. Participants in the action were students of the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school.
The action included 9 Paralympic sports demonstration stations and an information station, in which the athlete of A.S. AMEA Dimitris Tsikourelis, spoke to the students about this sport and answered questions from the students about the motor impairment.
The stations were:
wheelchair basketball,
boccia,
goalball
Paralympic Movement,
sitting volleyball,
wheelchair badminton,
athletics for the visually impaired
use of a wheelchair and
painting
Over 100 children from the two primary classes passed through all the stations in groups. Students through play and fun learned important information about the Paralympic Movement and Paralympic sports. The aim of this action was to inform and sensitize students through experiential exercise.
