The story behind M’ agapao
M’ agapao - Creative Activity Center for Children with Multiple Intelligences - Volos

 

«M’ agapao?»

A seemingly simple, almost childish question. And yet, deeply existential. And as simple as it sounds, it contains the essence of our relationship with ourselves.
In this world of adults, where everything must be efficient, fast and "correct", something is missing! Something simple, true and deeply human. The only place that seems to have remained untouched by the rush and burden of everyday life is a magical world, the world of children!
There, among the sincere looks, the spontaneous laughter, the questions that do not have a "correct" answer, one feels as if returning to oneself again. To truth, to connection, to acceptance. Where you do not need to "be something", but only "you". And there an idea began to be born that eventually became a vision: a space for children — but also for their parents. A space that will not feel like an "obligation", but like a hug.
Thus was born “I Love Me.”
Not just as a name, but as a way of life. As a need to raise children who will love themselves exactly as they are — with their voices, their silences, their sparkles and their weaknesses. Children who will not need to fit into molds, because they will have room to blossom exactly as they are.
