What is unique about our approach?
Our vision
We envision an inclusive, resilient society that creates participatory, sustainable solutions for the emerging social challenges.
We develop new, more effective and sustainable solutions to existing social challenges.
Education, health, equality, justice, accessibility, entrepreneurship, working conditions, communities, sustainable cities and so many other areas need to be able to adapt more quickly today, absorb new technologies and use modern tools and methods that listen to our real needs.
How do we implement this?
#1
We (re)design projects and services that face the social challenges in Greece in an organized, systematic and participatory way, using modern methodologies and taking into account the real needs of citizens
#2
We organize interactive trainings in the methodologies we use (project management, service design, systemic impact, participatory processes)
#3
We create systems for the effective transfer of knowledge from good practices
#4
We adapt innovative methodologies and tools in Greek reality
We support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Our focus is on 6 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that have been announced in the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development based on the way we, as a company, can help in solving global issues through our organisations’ structures, services and projects.
Goal 3.8: Achieve universal health coverage. We support the “Help at Home” program through redesigning services.
Goal 4.4: Substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills. We offer digital toolkits and free access to skill learning workshops.
Goal 5.5: Ensure each gender’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making. We created the largest community of young professionals in Thessaloniki, together that aims to network/connect, empower and enhance work-life balance.
Goal 8.3: Promote development-oriented policies that support entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation. We co-design organisations strategies, enhance skills (soft skills) and train organisations to have a more systemic impact.
Goal 8.5: achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all employees. We have structured our organisation so that we can offer continuous support and guidance within a team environment and we respect the human needs of our employees.
Goal 8.8: protect labor rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers. We support rights in the workplace and we create a safe and just/fair working environment of cooperation. Through our projects we support our local economy and businesses.
Goal 11: Make cities and communities sustainable. We have coordinated green energy and e-mobility outreach programs such as the Voltaro event (2016-2022).
Goal 17.6: Knowledge Sharing and Cooperation for Access to Science, Technology and Innovation. We work with institutions in over 11 countries, aiming to strengthen and exchange knowledge and innovation tools, as well as to develop cooperation on equal terms.
