19.50-20.00

Q & A

 

Korina, a real estate agent in the already crisis-hit Greek market, has voluntarily intervened to make sure that housing is provided to Syrian refugee families. She helped find the necessary means for these people’s living, while she has been supporting them both financially and morally ever since. She hopes and waits for the ordeal of the refugees to come to an end, as was the case with her grandparents, refugees from Pontos, Asia Minor, some hundred years before. She believes that the historic recurrence requires that we stand by our fellow men, “that we benefit and be benefited”.

The Uninvolved School Desk  (22'), 4th Lyceum of Alimos

20.50-21.00

Q & A

 

In a Greek high school, students are exhausted by the pressure of the examinations and of private coaching schools and “they feel guilty if they study, even for a short time, e.g. history instead of studying a subject for the national exams”. The refugee issue, if they care about it, is nothing more than another theoretical sociopolitical problem. Meeting young refugees changes their perspective and leads Eleana and Alexandra to make decisions concerning their future.

21:00-21:20

Undercover Raper (17΄), Irini Bazara, Athens

21:20-21:30

Q & A

 

Tariq a 26 year-old Syrian refugee comes to Greece with a special passion, to express himself and communicate his thoughts and ideas, through rap music. His so far, "adventures" in Syria, before and after the war, as well as his journey of seeking  a prosperous country, to survive and live well, make him  active in shaping modern world history. His interest in social issues and his direct involvement through his role as a translator on a voluntary basis while he is in Greece, makes him particularly loved and sensitive not only to his own problem of seeking a peaceful country in order to create, but also to the other refugees he comes in contact with and helps.
