Orgamites embark on new adventures in classrooms | 2024-2025

Orgamites, the popular educational program, continue to offer free monthly online presentations, bringing their message of healthy living into classrooms, while highlighting the importance of organ donation. With the aim of expanding the community of 20,000+ pupils and teachers, who have already discovered the secrets of the human body’s organs with the help of Orgamites, this innovative educational program, – implemented by the Hellenic Transplant Organization with the support of the Onassis Foundation– continues its journey in the classrooms.

Primary school pupils, aged 7 to 11, can participate in the program and attend one of the monthly online presentations. The only requirement is for the school principal to submit the application form on time.

During the presentations, the pupils’ questions take us on a fun ride, full of discoveries and knowledge. With the characters of the “Orgamites” on their side, they dive into the unique world of the human body organs.

Orgamites teach children, in a creative and fun way, about what makes our heart beat strong, the lungs pulsing in and out, the kidneys safeguarding our body’s health. Furthermore, concepts such as organ donation and transplantation are discussed in a child-friendly language with the view to shaping a new culture of solidarity based on love for health and life.

Originally launched in England, this innovative educational program is now in its fourth year in Greece, as part of the Ministry of Health’s Health Education programs.

Apart from the online presentations, teachers and parents can download the digital material consisting of a handbook, presentations and games, to share with the children either in the classroom or at home.

Through the use of the “Orgamites” main presentation, the discussion for healthcare and organ donation enters the public arena.

The program is addressed to all primary schools.

For the online presentations, places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
