The young people of Pegeia and the wider area of Akamas will soon acquire their own space, which aims to assist creative employment, raise awareness of young people in actions and interventions and promote social contribution, environmental awareness and cultural cultivation.
The project is promoted by social and state bodies such as the Youth Organization, the organized youth of the area and other local actors and a large-scale preparatory work is already underway for its implementation, which includes research and study on the needs of the young people of the area, the lack of infrastructure and the demands of the young people themselves.
This multi-purpose youth center in Pegeia aims to become a platform for expression, awareness and cooperation among young people. It is addressed, according to the representatives of the initiators of the initiative, to young men and women of the local community, to pupils, to the unemployed, but also indirectly to professional residents of Pegeia and the surrounding area who can volunteer presentations or activities, to artists and creators who can present their work, as well as parents who wish to participate in or support this initiative.
The Pegeia Youth Center is estimated to be a modern, open and welcoming multi-purpose space with infrastructure that will have a multi-level impact on young people.
The initiators of the initiative attach great importance to the sustainability and environmental footprint of the project, emphasizing that the environmental dimension of the idea is a central pillar. In this context, they point out, the creation of recycling areas within the framework of the Multipurpose Space, reward incentives, educational programs for the development of ecological awareness, as well as the encouragement of social contribution and empathy are foreseen.
This project will also promote the implementation of social contribution programs, such as food collection and actions for the elderly, the strengthening of social empathy through thematic events and the activation of young people in issues of social interest, such as volunteering, dealing with social problems and culture.
The next steps for the implementation of the big goal, the people who run the project point out, are the meetings with experts, within these days, the meetings with potential sponsors and supporters to present it and the promotion of the initiative after the meeting with local bodies.
