My name is Dimitra Magkanoudaki.
I started fencing in 1990 and stopped in 2008 . I participated in the 2004 Olympic Games where they took place in my country Greece, where with my team we won the 8th place in epee. Now I am a coach for young children and my purpose is to transfer all my knowledge, experiences and my love for this sport!
Because sport is a unique and amazing tool for inclusion, Up sport ! made this its credo. Within the charity, we offer sport activities to help fragile people to rebuild self-confidence, strength, social inclusion, emancipation and finally peace.
I want to spread awareness through campaigns, and for a law to be passed, making the physical education for girls in non-prestigious schools obligatory. Sports require efficient facilities, which Pakistan lacks. So, investing in the development of facilities must be encouraged and given utmost importance.
The passion that river people share leads to an incredible intercultural understanding. Rafting guides, technicians and athletes, with the support of the World Rafting Federation, learn to cooperate and look forward, with the aim to transform the differences into strength and a starting point for a positive and productive confrontation. Rafting as a team sport is a perfect platform to increase a global cooperation and raise awareness about its benefits.
