GREEKS CAN!
The upcoming events
Because creation and work are culture
NU*Age, a new initiative by Spyros Kouvelis on issues of innovation and extroversion, in partnership with the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation initialize a campaign designating Greece which has creativity, which has spirit, which knows how to insist. They aspire to give prominence to examples of Greeks who with belief and vision succeed in the fields of entrepreneurship, research, social contribution, arts, sports, degustation”.
The campaign runs under the general title “Greeks Can” in opposition with the question: “Can the Greeks?” which in English means not only “Can the Greeks?” but “pack Greeks, get rid of them”.
The campaign responds: “Greeks Can!”
Aim of the campaign is to approach all the Greeks, and in particular the young ones as well as those who need to overcome pessimism, to put their creativity in action, to built a new tomorrow for Greece. The objective is to spread the message to the rest of the world as well, where people need to see examples of success from Greece.
The campaign “GREEKS CAN!” makes the most out of the social media in order to spread these messages everywhere, to every city, all around the world.
Every 15 days a new event is going to take place at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, while in the meantime, through the electronic forum that is going to be created for the campaign, the dialogue and the cooperation is going to be continued. Creativity, optimism, acknowledgement of Greek peoples abilities, is the challenge.
The campaign begins on Monday the 26th of March 2012, 18:00 – 21:00, at the Theatre Hall of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation with the imaginative presentation of the program Hydrosol by the Dr. Thanasis Konstantopoulos, researcher, President of the National Centre for Research and Technological Development. The program has been awarded with the European Award Descartes and pertains to the hydrogen production as well as sustainable fuels from sun, water and CO2. Along with him on the stage the band Nick & the Backbone perform Blues, during the presentation!
