Description of the tool
“Inclusion Playbook: Traditional Games for Everyone” presents a carefully curated collection of traditional games originating from the countries of Greece, Georgia, Türkiye, and North Macedonia. Each game has been thoughtfully adapted to acquire the characteristics of an inclusive activity, enabling its implementation across diverse social groups, with no barriers to participation. The adaptations aim to ensure that all individuals — regardless of physical ability, cognitive profile, cultural background, or socio-economic status — can engage meaningfully and enjoyably in every activity.
This playbook embodies an approach where the timeless cultural value of traditional play meets modern principles of social inclusion, providing facilitators with practical tools for fostering environments that support equity, participation, and intercultural understanding.
The development of this resource was undertaken by the organization Civitas Athletica, within the context of the Erasmus+ Programme, through the implementation of the project titled “Timeless Games”. Through this initiative, Civitas Athletica has produced a functional, engaging, and accessible deliverable, intended to serve as a tool for promoting inclusion and integration among young people of all backgrounds.
Among the games featured in this collection is “Walk a Mile in my Disability”, an original creation of Avgousta Akritidi and Ifigeneia Akritidi, President and Facilitator of Civitas Athletica, respectively. This game exemplifies the project’s vision by offering a dynamic and experiential approach to cultivating empathy and raising awareness around the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities.
