This action highlights the essential approach of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Society of Aitoloakarnania to issues of mental health and social inclusion, expanding its work beyond the geographical boundaries of Greece, reaching Greeks abroad.

The speech, adapted to the age level of elementary school students, had as its main theme diversity in its broadest sense. The aim was to raise children’s awareness of the various forms of diversity that we encounter in society, such as cultural, social, and neurodiversity, in a simple and understandable way. Through interactive elements and examples, students had the opportunity to understand the value of each individual’s uniqueness and to cultivate attitudes of respect and acceptance towards those who are different.

The choice of a Hellenistic school abroad to hold this talk is not accidental. Students living in a multicultural environment like Brussels come into contact with different cultures and experiences every day. Discussing diversity in this context is particularly crucial, as it equips them with the necessary tools to understand and embrace the diversity that surrounds them, building bridges of communication and solidarity.

Furthermore, the online nature of the speech demonstrated the potential of technology in bridging gaps and providing educational opportunities on vital issues such as diversity and inclusion.

The success of this initiative by EPSYPEA highlights the need for continuous information and education on diversity issues, starting from childhood. Actions like this contribute decisively to the creation of a more open, fair and inclusive society for all, where diversity is not a reason for discrimination, but a source of wealth and creativity.
