I can tell you for sure that we have achieved a lot in a few years, supporting more than 100 institutions to date. I can tell you with the same confidence that our goal as a Network has not been fulfilled. “What we want is to create a real culture of supply and to make Thessaloniki the most solidarity city in Greece.”
