The 1st sporting event took place on 20 January 2023 at the Tüskecsarnok indoor arena, with students aged between 15 and 17 from schools across Budapest. The 2nd sporting event took place on 21 January 2023 at Aquaworld, one of the biggest indoor water theme parks in Europe, with parents/guardians and children of all ages. The event aimed to introduce the participants to the new sport and motivate them to engage in physical activities.

University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis. This building has since been restored and now functions as the University Museum. Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students. As the first university of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region, it assumed an important socio-historical role, which was pivotal in the development of specific forms of knowledge and culture within the country.
