Philosophy Educational section


In ancient times the Greek had a visionary mind: a healthy mind in a healthy body.

As a prelude to sport, in PLAY importance was given as a high form of education of youngsters, to challenge
a way of life. Education in PLAY couldn’t start young enough: a wide variety of skills were taught from a
very young age.

Unfortunately, in the dual system of the old Greek world, many young men died during the war battles
between Sparta and Athens. But the basic element in education from those days seems to have returned
today: a healthy body is the ultimate status in life, and let’s hope a healthy mind is within the scope of it.

Therefore children must be made aware of the human factor of all civilisations: there is no difference between
children of the old Greek and the children of today, as long as they PLAY and move as much as they can!
Schools and other educational institutes of children: show your responsibility and make kids move and PLAY!
