Aggellos and Apostolis are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Hellas (Greece) who are leading a Youth Innovation Project aimed at keeping athletes with and without disabilities engaged in sports during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the course of 6 months, Aggellos and Apostolis hope to involve 15 youth from their community in their project. Aggellos and Apostolis were inspired by the distance created between athletes and sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aggellos and Apostolis want athletes to remain excited about their sports and engaged in practicing through their game challenges. By thinking innovatively and making inclusion a part of sports even when athletes cannot practice in person, Aggellos and Apostolis are inspiring the Unified Generation.
