The children participated in a series of games and fun challenges in the courtyard of the Zappeion Megaron and were then transported by bus to the Metropolitan Park &#8220;Antonis Tritsis&#8221;, and the beautiful area of the Scout Educational Center PI.VA. They all cooked and dined together, tasting cuisines from different cultures. The day ended with the Scouts teaching their refugee peers knotting techniques, making a simple yet beautiful bracelet, which will accompany them all as a reminder of this colorful activity, as a symbol of friendship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This beautiful celebration is\u00a0a positive example of community engagement and social integration, the first of many activities that highlight intercultural cooperation and acceptance, along with the values of inclusion and diversity, offering the most beautiful and meaningful lessons for all children.<br \/><br \/>&#8212;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cTogether in Sport-Phase II\u201d is implemented by METAdrasi (project coordinator), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoc.gr\/en\/hellenic-olympic-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Hellenic Olympic Committee<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosb.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB)<\/a>.
