About the Initiative

This is the fourth class of the Learning Series, that was initially launched in June 2022. The program is addressed to Greek public high school students in the area of Thrace (Komotini), who wish to develop a set of skills and competencies that will assist them to build the foundations for their future to prepare for careers in the era of digitalization and disruption.
