Partners
INSPIRE project puts together 8 partners with the ambition of creating and testing new methodologies and initiatives for the promotion of the Olympic philosophy at school.
The partnership is designed to foster interaction between Education, Community Sport and Youth Associations across Europe in order to establish more inclusive and cohesive networks of community stakeholders in the promotion of the Olympic values.
The School is located on the eastern suburb of the city of Naples, in the district of Ponticelli which is a high density housing area and is made up of a complex school population from the social, economic and professional point of view.
As a consequence of what has been described, the school tries to calibrate the potential of each educational opportunity to guarantee social equality and to respond to the needs of everyone, trying to limit the phenomena of failure and of low self-esteem.
The planning and organization tend to:
• Create a welcoming and supportive environment;
• Promote the active participation of all students in the learning process;
• Focus the intervention on the class according to the pupil’s needs;
• Promote the acquisition of collaborative skills;
• Develop inclusive practices through a closer collaboration between all the components of the educating community.
The main objective is the reduction of barriers that limit learning and social participation through the use of facilitators and the analysis of contextual factors, both environmental and personal. Most projects are in collaboration with local NGOs and are addressed at both students and their families.

The 3rd Gymnasio of Larissa (High School) is a secondary school with students aged 12 to 15.
The school lies on the edge of the city, in a low-density area, near the Diachronic Museum and the municipal Gallery. Its students come from a diverse social national and religious background, the average of a house income is a medium or a lower one, especially after the last decade’s economic crisis that the country is still facing.
The school hosts evening classes for children from Syria and we believe that making our students aware of the new situation/reality and of the ways they can accept it, will help us all to build a peaceful community in the future.
For some of students it is difficult to turn the theoretical context into practical skills and that’s why the school staff needs to introduce informal education methods into regular classes.
Through the subject of Physical education, students learnhow to overcome obstacles and to cooperate to achieve personal aims and contribute to a team’s success. They are taught both in theory and practise to stand against discrimination and fight for their values. The school has a football, a volleyball and a basketball team who participate in local school tournaments promoting the Olympic values.
In Greece, the first Monday of October is dedicated to the promotion of the Olympic values at schools and therefore many sports activities are organized in each school.
Every year students and teachers from our school participate in a nationwide running event organised by the SEGAS (Hellenic Athletics Federation) in cooperation with the municipalities around Greece. It is a combination between sports and culture and its main aim is to motivate people in outdoor activities and friendship.
