2. Another Greece…
Greece is in a big recession and things have to
change in order to live a decent life…
The hardest thing to change is not the economy
but the mentality of the people. Living in a small
town of 15.000 mentality grows strong and
change is hard to achieve

3. We decided to change
A small group of people decided to join forces and create
an active volunteer group of citizens that would be
strongly involved in the life of the town.
From being viewers of life passing by we decided to
become DO-ERS and act very often to achieve small or
bigger goals in order to change our life and make it better.

We focus on certain groups and with our know-how in
organizing events we help them to see life in a different

So we make a start with lots of events and then it’s up to
them to follow on…
