Thalassa of Solidarity – Θάλασσα Αλληλεγγύης

Due to the urgent measures for the protection of all of us from the coronavirus (COVID-19), Θάλασσα Αλληλεγγύης – Thalassa of Solidarity will remain closed from the 11^th of March 2020. Health is the most important issue for students, volunteers, all of us!

You can communicate with us via email at info@thalassa-solidarity.org and visit our pages at Facebook @ThalassaSolidarity and Instagram @ThalassaSolidarity for updates but also to check our handicrafts!

And if you would like to have some, let us know!

Let’s not forget the refugees here in Heraklion, Crete but also at the camps around Greece; the migrant workers; and all those around us that they are having less access to information or do not have the capacity and the means to protect and sustain themselves and their loved ones!

We live, learn, work, dream, take care, stay health, together!
