Parents, Teachers And Healthcare Professionals

How can we introduce heart, lungs, kidneys and other body organs to children in an easy and fun way? How can we share with them knowledge on organ transplantation?

Tough questions become fun stories through the Orgamites characters, an educational program for children aged 7 to 11, which, for the school year 2020/21, is part of the Actions-Measures and Primary Healthcare Programs developed by the Ministry of Health in order to inform and raise awareness amongst pupils. It is included in the ΧΙΧ thematic area, titled: «Promoting Organ Donation and Transplantation to children and teenagers».

Meet the Orgamites through a dedicated webinar for parents, teachers and healthcare professionals.

An educational program under the scientific auspices of the National Transplant Organization and the Ministry of Health, with the support of the Onassis Foundation.
