System and G, Greece

ABOUT SYSTEM AND G – WITH REAL PASSION FOR CREATIVE YOUTH WORK

NGO “SYSTEM AND G” was first created in July, 2010 as an informal group and already since December 2010, has a status of NGO. The S&G activist core are ex EVS volunteers with great experience in Youth in Action projects (international exchanges, seminars, workshops, EVS) and in the field of NGOs. They formed to further educate young people from Greece giving priority to youngsters with fewer opportunities, and gathering other volunteers, giving them the opportunity to acquire new international experience, discover another culture and creativity in the future for young people to serve as a force for personal development and expanding horizons. System and G all activities are mainly based on non-formal education methods. Creativity, culture, art, nature and environmental awareness, intercultural dialogue, joy, European awareness, research, democracy, active participation, tolerance, inclusion, information, informal education and voluntary - these are key words in System and G all activities. System and G belief is - the international experience, cultural interaction and exchange of experiences is one of the most important and most effective drivers for personal development, it significantly broadens the horizons of young people and opens up a wider view of their own, the state and the future. System and G aims to activate its volunteers in the fields of active citizenship and environmental awareness by encourage youth participation in related processes, as well as equip them with information about various opportunities to participate in national and multicultural projects around Greece, Europe and the world. To achieve its objectives, System and G is organizing and participating in various national and international events - seminars, camps, youth exchanges, in the presence of well motivated young people, thus contributing to the Greek mobility of young people to other cultures and getting to know a European consciousness. Currently we have around 15 active members who are daily participating in our youth centre’s activities but generally we have hosted more than 300 young persons from different countries in our organized projects and we have sent more than 200 young persons abroad in order to participate mostly in Youth in Action orgenized projects during the last 2 years.
