Did you know that..?

Did you know Alli Opsi? What is this? What does it mean?

Alli Opsi (which means a “Different View” or the “Other Side” in Greek) is a non-profit association that was founded in Thessaloniki Greece in June 2007 mostly by young people with or without disability.

The main activity of Alli Opsi is to organise Training Camps, addressed at people with quadriplegia or paraplegia mostly caused by spinal cord injury, as well as people with amputation.

The aim of the Camp is to provide people with disability with the necessary means and experiences in order to attain higher level of autonomy. This is achieved through face to face peer support and intensive training.

We believe that accomplishing the highest possible level of autonomy by people with disability is a pre-requisite for achieving a better quality of life.

The initial idea for founding Alli Opsi arose when we became acquainted with the Swedish Non-Profit Organization Rekryteringsgruppen www.rekryteringsgruppen.se.

On average, 30 participants with Tetraplegia, Paraplegia and amputation gather together with 15 leaders with disability and 15 individuals who act as a support group to train new techniques, strength and physical condition, try out numerous activities and exchange knowledge and experiences.

You will be amazed seeing what people on a wheelchare can do and achieve.
