On October 3rd and 4th, the South-East European Research Centre (SEERC) of CITY ULE, University of York Europe Campus, together with the non-profit organisation Light Trees (Φωτόδεντρα), held a series of capacity-building workshops in Katerini, in collaboration with the Kapnikos Stathmos of Katerini, as part of The LISTEN Project.
Participants had the opportunity to explore local initiatives promoting social innovation, visiting the Social Grocery and Social Pharmacy, and they were also introduced through a presentation to Network T57, which showcases ongoing efforts to strengthen community collaboration and networking.
The capacity-building event also featured an interactive session focused on developing funding proposals, with a special emphasis on the CERV Programme (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values) and other EU funding opportunities for initiatives with social impact.
Finally, the event also included a participatory storytelling workshop, where members of the Katerini community shared their experiences and perspectives, fostering meaningful dialogue and reflection on local challenges and opportunities.
