“Building Bridges through Sport” Youth Exchange (August 7–14, 2026, Kryoneri, Corinthia) From August 7 to 14, 2026, 10 young people from Greece and 10 from Germany participated in the “Building Bridges through Sport” youth exchange, which took place in Kryoneri, Corinthia. During the program, the participants got to know one another through icebreaker games, explored the concepts of stereotypes, discrimination, and prejudice and how they can manifest in the world of sports, and learned how a sport can be made accessible. In addition, as part of the program, participants played various sports and visited the city of Nafplio. Below is the experience of one participant, Eleni Papaioannou:
“Through the ‘Building Bridges Through Sport’ program, I had amazing experiences—I met new people and learned about new cultures while also staying active. The program helped me practice my English and understand the way people from other nationalities think. The people I met became my friends within just a few days, and the memories we created are unforgettable. I highly recommend it!”
