PRESS RELEASE | Messages Against Racism and Discrimination from SolidarityNow and Local Stakeholders in Larissa


On the occasion of March 21 – the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and following the open call of the Greek Forum of Migrants to participate in the “Walk Against Discrimination 2026,” SolidarityNow, in collaboration with dozens of local organizations and communities in Larissa, invites the city’s residents to take part in an awareness-raising action.

On Friday, March 20, from 18:30 to 19:30, we meet at the Post Office Square (next to the open-air theatre) for a static public event, sharing messages that promote visibility against racism and discrimination.

The initiative aims to raise awareness within the local community and promote the values of equality, justice, and solidarity.

SolidarityNow participates through the PYXIDA* Specialized Services Center operating in Larissa, as well as through the HELIOS Junior** program implemented in Larissa and Ioannina.

*PYXIDA is funded by the European Union through the “Program Greece – Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund 2021-2027″.

**The Helios Junior program of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum is implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with the co-funding of the European Union (Home Affairs Fund), in collaboration with experienced implementation partners, among which is SolidarityNow.
