Work

For us, regular work is an important pillar for everyone in our community. We give opportunities for work to our special needs residents in a protective, pleasant and stress-free environment, while at the same time ensuring that each of them develops his or her skills in a continuous way. Teamwork is an integral part of our way of working: The workshops we offer right now are: 

Pottery 

Each person is encouraged to use their different abilities to work with the whole process of ceramic production, molding, shaping, glazing and recycling the clay. 

We have two pottery workshops, which operate in a 200 sq, mts. building. We create different things with it, such as: plates, bowls, candleholders, flower pots, etc.

Workshop Leader: Kostas Nitsakos

Jewelry & Handcrafts 

In this workshop, people are encouraged to develop their skills to create and produce items according to their abilities. The finished products, such as earrings, bracelets, dolls and hand knitted goods are sold in our bazaars.

Workshop Leader: Mairi Kanavaki

Garden

In the garden workshop, staff and volunteers work side-by-side with special need residents. We are constantly trying to match the skills of each individual with the tasks that are needed in the garden, fromsimple watering and carrying to seeding
 and pruning.

Currently we have a vegetable garden, a lemon grove, vines and many young fruit trees and herbs.
