Description

"Frodizo" participated in the European project "INMOTION" - Exchange of Good Practices for Sports in the Third Age "(Educational Partnerships GRUNTVIG-Partnerships 2013). In the 2 years of the project, members and professionals of the organization participated in 4 meetings abroad (France, Turkey, Bulgaria, Italy) gaining huge experiences for the benefit of the institution. On April 4, 2014 in particular, a large event for the Third Age was organized in the Central Square of Patras (V.
