The main activities of ODYSSEAS are:

  • Information of students, parents and teachers on the right use of the internet and the overall use of new technologies
  • Organization of training seminars from specialized personnel of our Organization to professionals (teachers, social workers, psychologists) on child safety
  • Its use as a Mobile Crisis Management Command Center throughout Greece
  • Training of professionals on first aid
