Sindos Community Centre
Update Winter 2019
After almost two years, our coordinator for Greece, Valentino Velasquez, returned to Switzerland. Our employee Georgia Kaltsidou has taken over the role of coordinator for Greece.
Georgia has been working in and around Sindos for various humanitarian organisations since 2015 and has been on board since the Sindos Community Centre (SCC) was founded. We are lucky to have someone on our team who has a lot of experience, knows the refugee community very well and is also from Sindos itself.
Since our launch in April 2018, we have welcomed an increasing number of humanitarian organisations to our SCC. These collaborations are extremely important to us. We see them as an indispensable addition to our programme to ensure that people receive the best possible support. Workshops and information events have been held by various organisations, such as:
MDM Greece (information on various aspects of personal health and an overview of the Greek health system)
Campus Bus (explanation of and access to online freelance jobs)
SAOK (football and rugby project with the UMAS from Sindos)
The participation of these organisations motivates us to continue offering such events at the SCC in Sindos in the future, in order to make knowledge and experience accessible.
