From Africa with Love – Greekethiopics
The documentary presents issues of dual ethnic heritage and brings topics of strength, identity, and difference to the fore. Where do you belong when, being of Greek descend and a graduate of the Greek High School in Addis Ababa, you arrive in Greece and they consider you different? Why is it difficult for you to obtain the Greek nationality when both your given name and surname are Greek? The Greek community in Ethiopia at its peak numbered 7,000 people. In 1975, most left due to political changes.Today, more than 300 people of Greek origin live in Ethiopia.
The Documentary had its premier at the 20th Thessaloniki Film Festival and had also screenings in Addis Ababa, London, Crete, Kos, Castellorizo and Chalkida.
It was also part of the Program of the cable Tv channel Cosmote History HD in 2018/2019.

Athens 33rd authentic marathon: isothermal blankets for refugees

A refugee travel document (also called a 1951 Convention travel document or Geneva passport) is a document issued to a refugee by the state in which she or he resides allowing him or her to travel outside that state and to return there. Refugees are unlikely to be able to obtain passports from the state which granted them asylum and therefore they need travel documents so that they might engage in international travel. (From Wikipedia)
We all stand up together for a world where many worlds fit!
“Piso Thrania” (back desks) was created in autumn 1999 as part of the “Network for the Social Support to Immigrants and Refugees”, as an initiative of active solidarity to political and economical refugees. The goal of the group is to offer free Greek language courses to adult immigrants and refugees, to inform and help immigrants’ and refugees’ families as far as it concerns their children’s education in greek schools, and finally to establish active solidarity between Greeks and immigrants as well as among immigrants from different origins.
The goal of the teaching part of “Piso Thrania” is to teach a basic vocabulary in greek, which constitutes a necessary condition for an elementary integration in greek society, and to explain several rules of grammar and syntax, important for the correct use of spoken and written greek language.
In the same time we take part in actions such as the Anti-racist Festival, organized by the “Coordination of Immigrants’ and Anti-racist Organizations”, demonstrations, protests and mobilizations against any racist and anti-immigration policy. (from: http://migrant.diktio.org/taxonomy/term/174)
