Its most important program is the Virtual Business Program of the Youth Entrepreneurship Association (Junior Achievement Greece): Pupils of the special school can venture and innovate, creating a different virtual business every year. This year ‘s project involves a virtual business called “My clothes σου your clothes”.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis congratulated and thanked the program managers and Junior Achievement Greece for the excellent work they do.

“There is nothing more beautiful and nothing more creative than setting goals and being able to work together to achieve them,” he told the children.

Speaking about what children and teachers do together in the Special Vocational Laboratory, Mr. Mitsotakis stressed that they created a virtual business “fully integrated in the logic of social solidarity, but also of the circular economy, which we also want to support” and added:

“Starting a virtual business is, as you can see, a very creative endeavor that allows you to learn new things, but also to help your fellow human beings.”

The Prime Minister thanked for their offer the communication manager of Junior Achievement Greece, Maria Giannetou, and of course the teachers who stand with inexhaustible affection next to these children and especially the Principal of the School Sultana Vassiliadou.

“The biggest congratulations belong to the teachers because they are the ones who put the children in the virtual business, on their own initiative they bring the children to us and this is very important”, underlined from her side Mrs. Giannetou.

“I know that you put your soul into helping children who need our care and affection more than other children, and I know how tiring it is on the one hand, but also creative when you see these children love and embrace new, innovative ideas. “, noted Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressing Mrs. Vassiliadou and all the teachers of the school of Kozani.

The same sources report that the students asked the prime minister about his own daily life. Responding, Kyriakos Mitsotakis told them that “every morning I tell myself that the difficulties are here to overcome them and that through every difficulty we can become better and learn something new every day. And I want every night that the my day to be able to say to myself today I did something creative and something useful “.

The people in charge of the program told the prime minister that they are not throwing away any of their clothes this year. “We bring it to our school business and sell it online. We save energy and financial resources and we all win,” they added, explaining the philosophy of this year’s event.

Closing the conversation, the students of the special school asked the Prime Minister to listen to the song that they have all written together, children and teachers, for the initiative “My clothes… your clothes” and which closes with the verse “all together, all together, we will save the earth “.

“That’s right, everyone has to make your own effort,” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, thanking the children from the bottom of their hearts for the conversation they had.
