From October 25 to 29, 2023, SPORTCAMP hosted the JUDO festival "Flower of Inclusion", a grand celebration of sports and culture, featuring athletes with disabilities of all ages, as well as non-disabled athletes under the age of 17.
This festival included cultural activities, among which were Judo competitions. Excursions and visits to archaeological sites, games, competitions, parties, and a mesmerizing crossing of the Corinth Canal were some of the highlights that thrilled the participants and their companions!
The event was organized and implemented by the Association of Greek Veteran Judo Athletes, in collaboration with the "INCLUDE" organization from Thessaloniki.
The event was held under the auspices of the Municipality of Loutraki-Perachora-Agioi Theodoroi and the Association of Greek Veteran Judo Athletes.
The competition categories were Judo weight classes combined with skill level categories (evaluation process), and the athletes' equipment was Judogi.
The purpose of the event was to familiarize athletes with the spirit of competition and coexistence with diversity, while simultaneously enjoying an atmosphere of acceptance for athletes with disabilities.
