Connect Athens Festival at Platia Kypselis
Υπαίθρια, αισιόδοξη βραδιά dance
The This is Athens City Festival in collaboration with IASIS (Civil Non-Profit Organisation) and the Connect Athens Youth Centre, through the second edition of the Connect Athens Festival, is organising a full-day celebration on the pedestrian street of Fokionos Negri. Following our Building Bridges for the Mental Health of At-Risk Youth event on 22 May, Connect Athens is bringing the conversation from the panels straight to the heart of the city. Under the motto #bringyourgrandma, we are putting theory into practice, turning connection into a shared experience for every generation. Dive into empathy-building activities and original AI workshops inspired by the memories of our elders. Catch street theatre, global dance performances, and an open forum featuring influencers and public figures sharing the stories that unite us. We are wrapping things up with a massive music-and-dance party featuring multicultural bands and DJs. It is all about proving that mental well-being and acceptance are built within the community. When generations meet, we create a safe, bright space for everyone.
