In partnership with the Oropos Specialist Primary School.

The musical arts are traveling to Oropos, opening up new channels of communication, education, and play in order to engage children – both with and without Autistic Spectrum Disorder – and their parents. Sign up for an experience filled with emotions, musical notes, and rhythms.

This successful Onassis Foundation educational program is boldly setting off on its musical journey around regional towns and other places once more, making its first stop of the new year in Oropos. On January 20, 21 and 22, mixed groups of children – both with and without Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and together with their parents and teachers – are invited to take part in a never-ending musical game.

Listen, look, and leap into this game designed specially for all your senses. Musicians and teachers will be by your side, tailoring every musical activity to your wants and abilities. In this workshop, sounds and musical instruments help each child to release their emotions and develop their social skills. The goal of the workshop is to get children on the broader autism spectrum to unleash their creativity and feel part of the group through an experience of teamwork.

The musical arts go beyond every form of lingual communication, and are journeying to new destinations this year – various regional towns across Greece – in order to improve access to education and play for all.
