An inclusive celebration of friendship, collaboration, and inclusion on Tinos.
From October 16th to 19th, 2025, the “Inclusive Mölkky 4 All” festival was successfully held on the island of Tinos.
The event was organized by the Panhellenic Association of Friends of Children with Disabilities “SOS KIDS LAMPSE,” the Hellenic Powerlifting Federation (HPA), and the Shine Sports Club, in collaboration with the Parents and Guardians Association of Tinos Primary School No. 3, under the auspices of the International Inclusive Committee.
Students from grades 4, 5, and 6 of Tinos Primary School No. 3 had the opportunity to play, collaborate, and have fun with people with intellectual disabilities in an environment filled with joy, acceptance, and mutual respect. Everyone became one team, regardless of labels and differences, sharing experiences, smiling, and creating unforgettable friendships.
The initiative’s main goal was to create an environment where everyone, regardless of their abilities, felt like an active and equal member of the group. The festival promoted the idea that diversity is strength, collaboration bridges differences, and inclusivity can become a way of life. The Finnish game Mölkky, with its simple, participatory rules, proved ideal for fostering teamwork, communication, and the joy of non-competitive play.
The atmosphere was emotional and festive: children and people with disabilities played, collaborated, and supported each other, showing that when we’re all together, no one is left behind.
