The Festival was organised at the Foundation of the Hellenic World where children exhibited their paintings and constructions, created a colourful graffiti, presented a hip-hop version of Aristophanes' comedy "Ornithes", introduced by actor Giorgos Moschides, improvised in the theatrical game entitled "Wounded nature", and finally staged a very special concert and enjoyed themselves with all the people attending. Moreover, the event included the presentation of a book entitled "Understanding children's problems" by Ms Aggeliki Gena, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Athens, and Mr Theologos Hatzipemos, special educator and social worker, moderated by journalist Ms Evi Fragaki.
