THE TEAM OF DHIAfest 2023This year the festival had a different approach and closed a large cycle of actions, initiatives and activities with a positive impression and optimism influencing and sometimes challenging the local communities to approach integration policies in different ways that work constructively for everyone.
﻿
This year we have closed 10 years since the day of the foundation of the festival, 20 Years since the Foundation of the Club for the Dissemination of Sign Language. This year's situation was also an occasion to renew the consortium with more commitments.
﻿
The coordinators of the festival are: ASSOCIATION OF THE DISABLED Chania, Sign Language Promotion Club, General Secretariat of Sports, Institute of Nutritional Studies and Research and the Cultural Organization of Macedonia Thrace ESAEI EN ROI, the last of the topics it has done. original material and the central archive from 2013 to present.
﻿
This year the agencies were not as involved in the implementation process as in the preparation phase, so participation was based on the degree of response of the citizens and the free will to respond to our invitation. Unfortunately it turned out that the free invitation and unplanned organization of groups did not work well highlighting the social dilemma of ACTIVE CITIZEN voluntary and guided action.
﻿
So the treasure game is established every year, promising the members of the steering committee to work hard for the coming year before 2023 comes out.
﻿
Our goals are
- To improve exploratory learning and discovery of facts through the treasure game by involving cities from other countries with expatriate Greeks
- To make a special tribute every year to a prominent personality in the field of Special Education with an emphasis on the issues of deafness and hearing loss
- To bring back post-Covid artistic activities in local monuments and open-air theater stages of the archaic, Roman or Byzantine type
