2014 will be a wonderful year for Thessaloniki! After
a long waiting period, the time has come for the city to be the European Youth Capital for 365 unique
days.
Back in 2011, Thessaloniki had to stand up and face
the competition of some of Europe’s most beautiful cities like Heraklio from
Greece and Ivanovo from Russia.
Thessaloniki’s success became possible due to the hard
work and creative ideas of all the volunteers that supported the city’s
nomination.
The city’s always active, creative and full of life
college community along with many students and individuals who shared the same
philosophy and desire to revitalize the urban scenery are the ones behind this
beautiful story.
The adventure begins!
The program of activities that will take place
throughout the entire year is impressive! Tens of concerts performed by
musicians and bands from all over Europe, theatrical and artistic events of all
kinds, contests and happenings will take place while young people from all over
Europe will visit the city.
Hopes and dreams will be shared, worries and thoughts
will be expressed, and hopefully new talents and ideas will emerge along with
many innovative projects!
There will be 11 different thematic sections that
include social integration, participation, innovation, arts, nature, culture,
sports and more!
A colorful, cultural celebration devoted to young
people from all over Europe! Don’t miss the chance to pay a visit to
Thessaloniki at some point inside 2014! It’s a must destination and a wonderful
opportunity to be a part of this exciting experience while enjoying all the
things this city has to offer.
We fully support the European Youth Capital project as
an institution that has the ability to change the urban scenery and the way we
understand the city and its people!
