SOCIETY

Since the 1st lockdown occurred and the protocols for dealing with the virus have been in place, many needs have arisen. In emergencies, what society needs is support on a practical and theoretical level. So we took the initiative through synergies to reinforce with medical masks, which we printed on our 3d printers, the health personnel of our region. In cooperation with the rest Tech Labs in Veria, Sparta and Corfu we voluntarily offered more than 70 medical shields to volunteers and frontline health personnel. This was supported by both the Embassy of the United States of America in Greece and Covid-19 Response Greece. At the same time, it was deemed necessary to prepare webinars - online workshops to inform young and old about the pandemic and the spread of false news. So we collaborated with Journalist for Journalism, the Digital Communication Network South Eas Europe Hub in Thessaloniki, eduACT, and Democritus University in order to offer workshops on soft skills, crisis management, conflict management, negotiations, as well as stem education workshops for younger students to stay active and creative.
