The much-loved educational program on healthy living and organ donation returns to schools this year. Through a series of free monthly online presentations for primary schools, the Orgamites teach children everything about their bodies and how to take care of them, as well as about the wonder of transplantation.
Since January 2021, more than 30,000 students across Greece have taken part in the program, gaining invaluable knowledge through imagination and creativity.
Primary school students (Grades 2–6) can join the program by attending one of the monthly online presentations. The only requirement is that their class coordinating teacher submits the registration form on time.
Within the program, children’s questions and curiosities are transformed into a fun game of discovery and knowledge, opening up the fascinating world of the human body’s organs, together with the Orgamites’ unique characters.
With imagination and creativity as their vehicle, the Orgamites turn learning into an exciting journey of discovery. Through their own questions, children learn from the Orgamites what makes the heart beat strongly, how the lungs fill with air, and why the kidneys are our precious guardians of health.
In addition, topics such as organ donation and transplantation are translated into the language and unique codes of communication that children understand best. In this way, the program lays the foundations for a new generation, cultivating a culture of solidarity focused on love for health and life.
The award-winning educational program, originally developed in England and adopted in Scotland, Canada, and South Africa, is now being implemented in Greece for the fifth consecutive school year, as part of the Primary Healthcare and Health Education Actions and Programs of the Ministry of Health.
Apart from the online presentations, teachers and parents can download the digitized resources, which include an educational handbook, presentations, and games, to share with children either in the classroom or at home.
The program is open to all primary schools (public and private). Participation in the online presentations is free of charge, and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
