The city is made by its children. Like us! We are in Athens now, but you can hear inside it the sound of many cities.

The Syrian and Greek Youth Forum is an international activism movement based in Athens. Its members have been working as active citizens since 2018, drawing from their varied backgrounds and building a platform for citizenship. They have developed methods of creative activism: by using culture as a tool for political participation, they search for connections and common stories, they belong to the city and they become it. Their projects reshape Athens and, as a consequence, they are indeed all Athenians as of now.
