Greece: ESC: disABILITY AWAREness

About the local hosting organization

KINITRO is a unique NGO that aims to provide inclusive and accessible education to youth from diverse backgrounds. Through non-formal and informal education methods, KINITRO promotes inclusion, diversity, and disability awareness. Our core program, "Labyrinth of Senses," has trained over 60,000 participants across 28 countries, fostering critical thinking, team spirit, and interaction between people with and without disabilities. What sets KINITRO apart is its comprehensive approach to training. We offer workshops on inclusion, diversity, and disability awareness, addressing the skills gap and promoting creativity through personalized learning and team-building activities. We also integrate ICT, new technologies, and digital competencies into their programs, utilizing VR technology to create awareness videos and bridging the digital divide. During the pandemic, KINITRO launched the KINITROnGO Academy, providing learners with opportunities to develop digital skills in areas such as social media campaigns, IT skills, team-building, climate change awareness, mental resilience, and project writing. This initiative has reached marginalized youth, rural communities, and individuals with disabilities, ensuring access to education in a safe and accessible environment. KINITRO's expertise extends to entrepreneurship, social rights, and equality workshops, empowering individuals with problem-solving and innovative thinking skills.
