The idea for the construction of a climbing wall for people with special needs was created during a theatrical performance held by these people and attended by their parents and friends. Crisis Management Team was invited to attend the performance and this was the connecting link between it and Panagia Laodigitria accosiation for the disabled. After talks,clarifications and obtaining the necessary permits, odik raised the first climbing wall at the Comprehensive Schools of Ilioupoli. Another lofty goal came true…
The target audience for this task is primarily the disabled and the elimination of any inequalities concerning them and secondly any student who would like to experience climbing.
It took 4 months to obtain the permits,find the sponsors and complete the construction.
The specialized materials that were used and the mechanics with their technical know-how helped to the construction of a climbing wall that would be safe and pleasant to use .
Although there was great interest and communication between associations and schools ,the safety measures against covid 19 and the lockdown prevented this possibility.However , 20-25 members of Panagia Evaggelistria association enjoyed the experience of climbing on a regular basis.
