Our first Community Event under the "Inclusion for All" program.
OCTOBER 2024
The first community event under the "Inclusion for All" program was successfully held on Saturday, October 19, 2024. This innovative educational program is aimed at the teachers of the municipal kindergarten of the Municipality of Spetses.
The event aimed to spread knowledge on inclusion issues, with an emphasis on best practices for the smooth integration of children with disabilities in the school environment. The participants were informed about the importance of creating social relationships without discrimination and exclusion inside and outside the school.
The Community Trust Spetses (CTS) and the project's scientific team, which consists of Dr. Elena Soukakou, Ms. Youla Blesiou, and Dr. Anna Touloumakou, organized and coordinated the event in collaboration with the Municipality of Spetses.
During the event, the scientific team presented the work it would carry out within the program's framework, while at the same time, a complementary action of AMKE NISSIMOU, which will implement extracurricular inclusion programs, was presented.
The public responded enthusiastically to the invitation to participate in the upcoming community training planned for the next period, showing great interest in the topic of inclusion.
The evening ended with a delightful performance by stand-up comedian Katerina Vrana, who, with humor and emotion, reminded us how we can overcome life's difficulties and keep moving forward with optimism.
The Community Trust Spetses (CTS) from the first moment responded positively to the implementation of this project, which is completely intertwined with our vision and our expectation for the progress and development of society through a common development plan. Their positive response reassures us and gives us confidence in the success of this project.
Synergy and cooperation between us should be accompanied by the values of inclusion and recognition of the needs of our fellow human beings.
If you also want to strengthen our actions, join us here in finding ways to enhance our impact.

Home BALTIZA work in progress - Children’ workshop
We provided financial assistance to implement an educational program for 5th and 6th-grade students during the Home Baltiza work-in-progress exhibition.
The program aimed to involve children in creating boat models, which hold great cultural significance in Spetses.
This process helped the students gain knowledge and skills in artistic practices while also learning about an important aspect of their country's heritage.
The boat models were expertly crafted by Pantelis Korakis, a skilled wooden boat builder from Spetses, and the workshop was led by Marilena Kraniotis, an accomplished artist.

Interactive Tours in collaboration with the ''Metamyth© through the Arts in Museums.''
by Thalia Valeta Panayiotopoulos
We completed eight "Metamyth©" sessions in August! The sessions took place at the Hadziyianni Mexi Museum Spetses and at the Open Air Museum at Faros, where the sculptures of Natalia Mela are exhibited.
All proceeds have gone towards the maintenance of the Spetses Museum and Natalia Mela's sculptures.
We are thankful to the Archeological Society and The Spetses Museum staff, who opened the doors of the Museum for the first time to "Metamyth©" because it focuses on the quality of attention to self, to others, and the cultural context of the museum.
