60 participants, 4 instructors, a number of colleagues, all took part in an innovative program with the aim of inclusion through interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The medium of radio, creative podcasts and photography, some of the most powerful mediums of modern expression. Taking advantage of these tools SolidarityNow chose to give its Primary Constituents of the organization the opportunity to express themselves, create and critique the organization itself, with the sole aim of improving its services and programs through the increased interaction and feedback acquisition between all its constituents.<\/p>\n

And they did it.<\/p>\n

Through their photographs and podcasts 60 Primary Constituents either share their own story or they share a story that caught their attention. These photographs and podcasts which visitors of the exhibit had the chance to see and hear was held yesterday, 17 September, at Serafeio of the Municipality of Athens (Piraios & Petrou Ralli street, Athens). Abdo, Omar, Karim and other Primary Constituents greeted their instructors and all visitors and were happy to share their experience as part of the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrimary Constituents themselves are most equipped to provide us feedback about their needs. We just provided them with the opportunity and some tools in order to be creative and improve their skills of expression\u201d says Danae Kapralou, the program\u2019s coordinator. She adds that the concept of accountability which was also a primary aim of the program is something that lacks in Greece in general. \u201cIt is important for those who try to have a better life, to learn that they are the most equipped to advocate for themselves\u201d they just need to be encouraged in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
