graduation. The semi-physical, semi-virtual space will be hosted at local universities and
Facebook Workplace, where Hub Members can connect and interact with others from around
the world, as well as with SDSN Youth stakeholders from different programs.

Our organization is based in the region of Thrace where we operate and organize most of our events, however, our impact and interaction is all over Greece as we bridge young people building more residence communities and establishing plans to support the #agenda2030 by joining our forces and co-organizing various events, interacting and bringing up our voices and ideas, leveraging our knowledge and skills by training sessions that we provide to our members in order for them when this journey is going to end to be ready for any challenge that they may face and be active citizens. To end, we do have an influence in our community therefore we believe that we could be a valuable asset by joining ALF's community.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The sound of the voice can be spread longer as higher you are in a mountain, our willingness is to support ALF to reach the top of that mountain. We strongly believe that ALF can bring a significant value to our purpose and reciprocally we can bring value to you. SDSN Youth which we are part of is a global organization with a huge network that can be utilized for any common purpose and actions that ALF may need. Frankly, we believe that we share the same values which can bond us and create a huger impact on our goals. Searching and reading your history so far I strongly believe that this is a unique opportunity for us which we don't want to lose.
