Cyclades Unified proudly participates in the 5-month European mentorship program “Visibility and Dissemination Toolbox for NGOs” (#EasyVisi Project). Implemented by TERRA TECH (Germany), LifeZone Group (Estonia), My Madeira Island (Portugal), and Clictic S.L. (Spain), the project supports youth organizations in improving their visibility and communication impact. As a newly founded NGO, Cyclades Unified aims to strengthen its capacity, address current challenges, and develop effective tools for outreach and dissemination. Through expert mentoring and an innovative toolbox, the organization will enhance its presence, promote its initiatives, and contribute to stronger, more visible non-profit work across Europe.
Funded by J.F. Costopoulos Foundation, Storytelling Waves workshops engaged Cycladic students using Agatha Rodi’s book to explore sustainability, heritage, and shared island traditions, producing a collective student-authored book initiative regionally.
Cyclades Unified participates in the European program RESILIAGE (HORIZON EUROPE) as a CORE Associated Lab, together with nine organizations from Austria, Slovenia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. On 12/3/2025, the **Medieval Castle of Kimolos**, its churches, and the landscaping by local volunteers were presented to the head of Core Labs, Ms. Farzaneh Allakbari, and the CoreDnet lead, Ms. Sofia Darbesio.
The program aims to promote collective memory and preserve cultural heritage. Cyclades Unified, in collaboration with the Municipality of Kimolos and the Cyclades Ephorate of Antiquities, works to restore and highlight the Castle and its churches, while raising awareness about weather phenomena and climate change, strengthening the resilience of the local community.
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.
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 organisation participates in the THI Volunteer Connect program. It serves as a bridge between the global Greek community and local non profit organisations in need of support to address important challenges, fostering a stronger bond as well as empowering a sense of community. Check our page and calls that will be announced according to our year’s planning. A rewarding experience of giving back through volunteer work. The main idea is to strengthen cultural ties while starting a transformative journey that promotes volunteerism and contributes to better communities.
