General Information
DDikeoma Institute is a NGO that serves as a centre for volunteerism on Corfu and accordingly works extensively with volunteers and local organizations that rely on volunteers. The DDikeoma for the sustainable evolution of Corfiot culture (NGO/ Number in Hellenic Court 93/2006) was founded on 27.2.2006 as a non-profit foundation with the goal of supporting creative cooperation and exchange toward the scientific, intellectual, social and cultural development of Corfu.
Mission and Objectives

The primary functions of the DDikeoma reflect and exhibit European Union values:
- Accessible Communication Channels/Access
- Diversity
- Participation
- Improving citizen conduct
- Involvement of Citizens with Local, National and European Institutions
(See also the attachment file)

Main Projects / Activities

To achieve and promote the aforementioned goals and values, DDikeoma has made use of the natural environment of Corfu. The DDikeoma has initiated an educational walking program of its own and has partnered with several NGO’s on Corfu that work toward educational, environmental and cultural development (Annual Corfu Symposium).
DDikeoma’s Walking Program makes use of trails that pass through the entirety of Corfu’s countryside. The trails pass through several environmental, cultural and historical sites. This makes the trails well-suited to educational programs that are accessible to people all over the island of Corfu. The trail also passes through a number of small villages, many of which are run down and nearing abandonment. The trail will inevitably lead to sustainable economic development and revive these traditional settlements.
