General Information
The artistic pedagogic youth organisation “Sxedia stin poli” was founded in 1999 as an informal group and since 2007 it has the legal form of a non-profit, non-governmental organisation. It has a 5-member steering board, 2 staff members and a pool of around 50 volunteers. They are educators, artists, social scientists, animators etc. with a strong commitment in communication and social awareness through arts. Our organisation has an average annual budget of 22,000€, from private donations by individuals (members and friends), workshop and seminar fees and mainly project financing by public or other non-profit institutions. Our activities include regular creativity workshops for children, educational projects for social awareness in schools, open events for young people in the city with our partner organisations (NGOs for Roma youth, refugees, children who lack parental care etc.), adult education and international youth exchanges on youth topics with our international partners with similar objectives.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to raise awareness of children and young people on various social issues through cultural and educational activities, to run voluntary activities in support of children with fewer opportunities, to train volunteers on sustainable learning, to promote volunteerism and solidarity, empower creative youth participation and foster cooperation of NGOs and young people.
Accordingly our objectives are children and youth, forward-thinking education, human rights, social awareness and solidarity and volunteerinsm.

Main Projects / Activities

“Schedia stin poli” runs projects for children with fewer opportunities (children with immigrant, refugee, Roma or vulnerable socio-economic background), such as the weekly  “Children’s Hangout”, in cooperation with the Greek Council for Refugees, SOS Children’s Villages at al., or workshops at public Primary Schools on children rights, diversity and discrimination. The organization has implemented projects such as Roma social circus and anti-racism week workshops at schools, as part of Thessaloniki European Youth Capital 2014, while in 2016-2018 it held activities for refugee children and youngsters in cooperation with INTERSOS Hellas and UNHCR. Moreover, street art activities, as well as other social and cultural events are carried out by “Schedia stin poli”, alone or jointly with other NGOs of Thessaloniki, active in the local network. Apart from the local level, the organisation has national, European and international partners, mainly in Erasmus+ funded projects, such as a KA3 3-year project on drama in education, currently implemented, as well as numerous youth exchanges and training courses.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are eager to join the meetings and share our rich and long experience on our objectives. We are particularly active and well connected at the local level and we want to multiply the effects inside a wide and well-structured network. We believe that our insight working with the community and our activities in Thessaloniki, Greece and beyond can be a useful material for the network. Of course our aspiration is to become an active member of the network and make it function to the mutual benefit of all members.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We strongly believe in the power of networks and the mutual interest of its members it cultivates. The networks, especially of the kind and scale of Anna Lindh constitute multipiers of the effectiveness and the capacity of its members, given they are active and committed. Our primary goal in joining ALF Network is networking: we want to meet more organisations from the focus area, create new partnerships and find new project opportunities, since all of our greatest activities have been in partnership with other NGOs. This is how we can empower a big number of youngsters, influence policy makers and ultimately make a change in our societies.

General Information
EADAP is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation certified by the Ministry of Health (Register No. 0994) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NGO Special Register No. 384, Hellenic Aid). It was founded by a group of academic specialists. It currently (2013) employs two staff members and cooperates with a great number of external collaborators including certified trainers, educators, teachers in primary and secondary education, academics, researchers, school counsellors, social workers, psychologists, students from pedagogical departments, elected officials and administrative staff from educational institutions, parents, etc. For most of its history, EADAP has mainly been funded by Bernard van Leer Foundation. Other funding sources include the European Commission through projects, educational institutions' and individuals' donations, etc. Since its establishment, EADAP has been participating in European and international networks, engaging in academic research, implementing training programmes, specialising in continuous in-service training, organising innovative educational activities for young children, encouraging cooperation between parents, teachers and educational bodies, getting involved in programmes promoting respect for diversity, producing printed and audiovisual educational material, organising workshops, conferences, festivals and study trips and developing educational networks. The scope of EADAP's activities, requires close collaboration with the aforementioned individuals, preschool, primary, secondary and higher educational institutions, parents' associations, NGO's, Local Governmental Authorities, public and private organisations, associations, etc.
Mission and Objectives

EADAP's primary objective is the study, promotion and dissemination of educational innovations to develop the potential of all children from preschool age to their first years at school.
Our vision is to substantially and effectively contribute to the development and creative occupation of children, thus promoting their rights and contributing to the recognition and respect of their diversity, while also developing educational innovations and conducting academic research on those matters.
EADAP aims to design and implement training programmes, promote continuous in-service training, develop collaboration among parents, educators and educational bodies and involve them in reforming the educational institutions, advance and connect action research, training and innovations in preschool and school institutions, research and train in the field of intercultural education and create educational networks.

Main Projects / Activities

During EADAP's first years of operation (1992-1994), its academic members have researched the field of preschool education, collected scientific data and developed an in-service training methodology, which they called Synergy. Over the next three years (1995-1998), EADAP used this methodology to implement and evaluate pilot in-service training programmes at 12 day care centres.
Since 1966 EADAP has been involved in numerous European projects with partners from al around Europe.
Since 1999, we have been expanding and disseminating the Synergy methodology through implementing programmes at many day care centres in municipalities both in Attica Prefecture (Greece) and elsewhere. Furthermore, we have been involving executives from relevant bodies in the programmes, engaging certified educators-mediators to staff the programmes, publishing material (articles, booklets, etc.), presenting papers at conferences and workshops, conducting research in Greece and participating in research programmes abroad.
Moreover, since 1999 EADAP has been running educational programmes focusing on specific targets -as has been done with the Aesop intercultural education programme-,
specific themes -such as health education, environmental education, evaluation, etc.-, the educational needs not only of Athens but also of the rest of Greece, by providing distance learning courses and the needs of education executives (school counsellors, education officers, headmistresses and day care centres' managers).
Lastly, since 2005, EADAP has worked on seminars covering various topics and of varying durations, based on the Synergy methodology. Those seminars reflect the needs and interests of educators, parents, students, education executives and social partners of the day care centres.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

EADAP would like to be an active member of the Greek Network. Our aim is to participate in joint actions and projects and help towards promoting and achieving common objectives.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Joining the ALF Network will first and foremost give EADAP the opportunity to contact civil society actors sharing common interests, established in countries from both parts of the Mediterranean basin. Such a membership will promote and facilitate dialogue and exchange of opinions and practices. Finally, cooperation with peers will lead to furthering EADAP's goals and interests, as well as to enriching our areas of expertise.
