We participated in the 2nd Posidonia Festival in Rafina, presenting our book A Young Kimolistas. We thank Ms. Valerie Vassilikos for creating the festival, Eugenia Athina Fois for coordinating the event, and the Cyclades Preservation Fund team for their support. Inspiring discussions with Eirini Renata Karathanou and Evangelos Paravas gave us hope for preserving Posidonia meadows.
Our organization partnered with Kimolistes NGO, with funding from the J.F. Costopoulos Foundation, to deliver the “Storytelling Waves” workshops across six Cycladic islands. The program, led by Agatha Rodi, uses storytelling and her book A Young Kimolistas to introduce students to sustainability, environmental issues, and cultural heritage. The initiative aims to collect students’ input from each island and produce a collective book preserving local traditions. The workshops operate under the auspices of the Hellenic Tourism Organization and the Municipality of Kimolos, within the “Kimolos Experience” Festival.
