The design and implementation of the exhibition "Raiment of the Soul", a collaboration between Papageorgiou Foundation and the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation (Μορφωτικό Ίδρυμα Εθνικής Τραπέζης - ΜΙΕΤ), gave us the opportunity to see Greek tradition through an unexpected prism.
We hope that it will work in the same way for those who visit!
So far, it seems to be going well!
Major throwback to one of the greatest events SYMVOLI has ever held!
Our collaboration with the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction marked its beginning in 2020 and during the hottest days of summer 2023, SYMVOLI faced one of its’ biggest challenges yet… 2700 participants from 50+ countries flooding the streets of Thessaloniki for EARLI 2023. And we thrived every step of the way!

SYMVOLI’s wishes this year are green and…edible! 🌲🌲🌲
Our wishes will transform to fruit trees that will be purchased & planted in the first Food Forest* of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with the environmental organization Mamagea**
So what more to wish than a fruitful 2024! 🍏🍋🍊
[*a Food Forest is a diverse planting of edible plants that attempts to mimic the ecosystems and patterns found in nature. They are created based on regenerative agriculture & function as an autonomous forest ecosystem.]
[**the Food Forest of Thessaloniki is an initiative of Mamagea and the Municipality of Neapoli-Sykees that will enhance the biodiversity of our metropolitan city and will be completed in 2024.]

EARLI 2023 | Education as hope in uncertain times
Hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen [archaic: a feeling of trust]
They trusted us back in March 2020,
We went through a long period of uncertainty during the pandemic, But we always kept our hope that we will eventually welcome EARLI 2023 delegates in Thessaloniki.
And here we are! ‘Sowing the seeds’ of hope….
It’s #InternationalMuseumDay and we couldn’t resist quoting Jeanie Kahke as she said “It’s not a museum. It’s not a place of artifacts; it’s a place of ideas.”
And as places of ideas, SYMVOLI is honored to collaborate with multiple museums, either for different cultural projects or exploring them as hosting venues for events.🏛️
Because visiting museums not only enriches our minds and souls, but museums are key contributors to the well-being and to the sustainable development of our communities.
Museums, Sustainability and Well-Being | Theme of International Museum Day 2023.
