About the “PRO-NIA” project
The main purpose of Movement "PROTASI" is the prevention of addictions and harmful behaviors of children for their mental and physical health, by using a holistic approach in the environments that children move and are shaped.
Movement "PROTASI" has a great experience in encouraging and strengthening the youths personality. It operates the Centre of Creative Occupation (C.C.O.) since 1993 .
During these 24 years, hundreds of children and young people from 4 to 22 years have received the services of "PROTASI" in prevention, promotion of personal and social skills, ιn broadening their horizons through transnational exchanges and many other activities. The daily participation of children to personal development groups and activities, give opportunities for healthy and creative occupation. With practical ways, modern pedagogical approaches, promotion and acquisition of personal and social skills, counseling and psychosocial support, the children raise awareness and realize issues that have to do with :
- responsible and active citizenship
- racism, xenophobia, abuse, bullying, hate speech practices
- tolerance and acceptance of diversity
- intercultural understanding
- solidarity,
- democracy,
- protection of the human and natural environment
Simultaneously, the project encourages the children to take initiatives which choose themselves and highlight these issues, acting as multipliers themselves to other children in the city but also in Europe through the network of INEPS we cooperate for many years.
