Since March 2018, three activities have been supported substantially:

Educational activity “Step2School”
Provision of remedial education to 762 children in Athens and preparation of their integration into formal education. 80% of these students have already subscribed to school. Additionally, for the facilitation of communication among educators, students and parents, METAdrasi’s interpreters have conducted 153 interpretation sessions, upon request.

114 individuals have been certified in Athens since the beginning of the programme, in March 2018, by METAdrasi’s interdisciplinary team of experts and have been referred to specialized entities for further support.
