The Municipality of Agia Paraskevi, Attica, in cooperation with the American College of Greece, EK ATHENS and the EIT Climate-KIC Greece Hub are organizing the Climathon Agia Paraskevi on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 November 2022.
Climathon is a 24-hour ideathon that seeks to engage and raise awareness on issues facing the local community regarding the climate crisis and change. One of the key objectives, among others, is to identify sustainable and innovative solutions with a positive impact on the climate.
Climathon is one of the EIT Climate-KIC (Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community) initiatives, supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The aim of Climathon is to strengthen the actions of municipalities and citizens to tackle climate change. To date, Climathon has managed to unite 200 major cities, in 65 countries and on 6 continents, supporting innovative actions in the context of the urban environment and hosting over 9,000 participants! In Greece, the Climathon has been organized in 14 cities (Athens, Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Larissa, Thiva, Corfu, Heraklion and Mytilene).
At the heart of the initiative are the Climathon organisers in each city, who support and promote the movement around the world. Municipalities, businesses, schools and universities, experts and non-experts, young people and parents are invited to join this journey of co-creation of new solutions.
