A CAMPAIGN FOR GREECE
GREEKS CAN!

“The environment we live and work in”
Know-how that makes the best of the characteristics of Greek landscape, Greek climate as well as the Greek flora. Workforce that can be utilized by us, as well as be exported to many other countries!

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 present on Thursday, May 24th 2012, 20:00-22:00, at the Cinema Hall of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, three approaches for an alternative way of designing and shaping the space-environment we all work and live in.

Stefanos Pallantzas (Project15), Andrew Clements (Oikosteges – Ecoroofs) and Thanasis Demiris (FluxOffice) talk about the innovative and awarded work of Greek companies enterprises in the fields of architectural space-design.

During the event, the audience discussing with the instructors is going to design, live, on stage, “green” buildings and cities which make the best of the advantages of Greece.

Videos are going to be screened as well in regard of the space-environment we live in, the “eco-friendly” buildings and the “green” roofs.

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 people’s abilities, is the challenge.
