The event was a vibrant showcase of the diverse work carried out by organizations involved in the European Solidarity Corps program. The methods of presentation varied, with some opting for experiential workshops or interactive games, others sharing volunteer testimonials, and some, like Youthmakers Hub, presenting projects rooted in volunteerism and solidarity.
Our co-founder and project coordinator, Marilena Maragkou, took the stage to share two of our initiatives: “Be Gr-In” and “Digital Literacy For Seniors” (DLFS). “Be Gr-In” is focused on educating the youth of Kallithea and Athens about environmental conservation and sustainable development. DLFS, on the other hand, addresses the widespread issue of digital illiteracy among seniors (50-70 years old) in the Attica region. Marilena provided a comprehensive overview of the projects’ objectives, activities, and outcomes, supplemented by a video featuring feedback from DLFS participants.
