Educational programmes for students from Special Secondary Schools

Students from two Special Secondary Schools of Athens visited the archaeological site of the Acropolis during the school year 2022-2023 participating in an educational programme designed and implemented by the YSMA Department of Information and Education

In particular, on 5.4.2023 Acropolis was visited by students from the Special Comprehensive Vocational Secondary School-Lyceum of Agios Dimitrios. The second time, on 26.4.2023, the students who went up the Rock were from the Special Secondary School-Lyceum of Ilioupolis. The difficulties of those students were not of sensory nature, but included mild learning and behavioural disabilities, mental retardation, autism spectrum disorders, and – in the case of the school at Ilioupolis – reduced mobility problems.

The students who went up on the Acropolis had a particularly pleasant experience which started with their ascent to the Rock and culminated with their visit to a place until then inaccessible to them.
