All-day Open festival of civil society
The Development Agency of Eastern Thessaloniki’s Local Authorities, ANATOLIKI S.A. participates as a partner in the project “Partnership of Youth & Citizens’ Society in Action”, in the context of the program “We are all citizens” whose Grant manager is the Bodossaki Foundation.
On the completion of the program, Bodossaki Foundation organizes, on Saturday, November the 19th, 2016, an all day, open to public festival of the civil society, in Technopolis, at Municipality of Athens.
More than 40 NGOs are involved, as well as representatives of the Municipality of Athens and the team “SynAthina” and members of civil society, with various activities giving the visitors at least one reason to be present in Technopolis, Athens.
All actions will be open to the public with free entrance.
Five reasons to be in Technopolis, on Saturday, November the 19th
- Educational, entertaining activities: children and young people aged 6-18 years can take part in interactive and creative actions, through which they put themselves into the shoes of ‘the other’, the ‘different one’.
- Experiential workshops for adults: learn to resist the temptation of hate speech and cultivate respect for human rights, learn to participate in the formulation of laws, to “initiate” the public into the world of trafficking etc.
- What type of volunteer are you?: through simple questions the profile and interests of each visitor could be fairly matched to the profile and the actions of Civil Society
- Thematic panels and speeches: in thematic areas as participatory democracy, environment, safe housing for refugees etc
- Views, performances and exhibitions: e.g. film – documentary “We are all Citizens’ http://www.weareallcitizensfestival.gr/speaker/eimaste_oloi_polites_tainia/
The exhibition “Roma here, Roma there, where are the Roma?” presents the conditions that contribute to the Roma social exclusion as experienced by themselves, and invites us to put ourselves in the position of the human beings in the photos presented. What would we do if we did not have running water in our houses? Where would our child study, if our house could not offer him/her an appropriate room? By how much patience would we have to brace ourselves if we ever heard negative comments about our origins? Through photographs taken in the field, video, statistics and other information material, the exhibition calls us to consider what we need to do to bring a substantial change for the better.
Time: 11:00 to 22:00, 19 November
Place: Tank Cleaning in Technopolis, Athens, Greece
