“Everyone is Different, Everyone is Unique”: A Self-Esteem and Acceptance Workshop from Neapolis and Chlorakas Adult Center

The Chlorakas Adult Center, in collaboration with Neapolis University, successfully held an experiential workshop on self-esteem and acceptance, based on the children's story of Elmer, the patched-up elephant. The workshop, hosted at the Agios Nikolaos Kindergarten in Chlorakas, aimed to enhance children's self-esteem and self-acceptance, foster empathy and acceptance of diversity, and promote positive interaction. Emphasis was also placed on intergenerational connection, strengthening cooperation between children and the elderly. The workshop was guided by psychologists Michaella Savvidou and Christina Meliou.
