Art united us once again, with the performance "Go to come back".  Young refugees and a group of teenagers from Athens conquered the stage of the Greek National Opera thanks to the Co - OPERAtive!

For the second year,  Kinoniko EKAV continued its collaboration with the Department of Educational and Social Actions of the Greek National. For us it is valuable to have institutions that embrace our children, refugee children living in Greece without their families. The participation of teenagers in the Co - Operative workshop program, contributes decisively to one of our fundamental goals: the integration of these children into Greek society!

Thanks to the workshops of the program, this integration is done in the most enjoyable and effective way, through creative, interactive artistic expression. Through this enchanting process, the participants discovered a new common language, which brought them together and helped them to chart a common path.

During the workshops up to the final performance, the children experience a creative, often explosive, exuberance. But this imprint lingers long afterwards and will be for them the timeless memory of a Greece open to welcoming the persecuted.

We would like to thank the participants of the workshop and the "Go to come back" performance, who exalted and embraced all the children who took part in this wonderful journey!

We share with you photos from the day of the performance!
