09 May MAY 8, 9 & 10, 2023 “THE MOBILE SCHOOL TRAVELS” AT THE CANTEEN FESTIVAL IN DRAMA.

On 8, 9 and 10 May 2023 at 6 P.M – 9 P.M the project “The Mobile School Travels” of the Ladies’ Union of Drama – House of Open Hospitality (HOH) will participate in the Canteen Festival organized this year in Drama, at the Railway Station of the city.
Executives and volunteers of the project will be at the institution’s stand in order to inform the passing public about the three-year project and its actions, as well as to raise awareness about issues of equality and anti-stereotypes. Also, our little friends will have the opportunity to see the mobile school up close and play with its various themed panels.
The Canteen Festival, which emphasizes the gastronomy but also the culture of the region, is organized by MEAΣ Hefaistos and Thessaloniki Brand and is under the auspices of the Regional Unity of Drama and the Municipality of Drama. It is an organization event that aims to establish itself as an institution, while it is already travelling all over Greece and in cities such as Thessaloniki, Volos, Ioannina, Lamia and Orestiada.
After three years of interventions only within Drama, the Mobile School from 2020 until today is taking place three times a week in areas of Drama, Kavala and Xanthi, in order to approach Roma children who either for social or family reasons are excluded from the school communities and cannot have a regular education.
The project “The Mobile School Travels” is implemented within the framework of the Active citizensfund program, with the implementing body of the Ladies’ Union of Drama – House of Open Hospitality (ΗΟΗ). The Active citizens fund program, amounting to €13,5 million, is financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and is part of the financial mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA) for the period 2014 – 2021, known as EEA Grants. The program aims to strengthen and optimize the sustainability of civil society, as well to highlight its role in promoting democratic processes, strengthening citizens’ participation in society and defending human rights. The management of the grant of the Active citizens fund program for Greece has been undertaken jointly by the Bodosaki Foundation and the Solidarity Now. Read more here: www.activecitizensfund.gr
