KALLIERGON syn – Non-Profit Organization (NPO)
The power of togetherness
KALLIERGON syn is a cultural initiative grounded in the power of togetherness, the “syn”, aimed at fostering a sustainable, culturally active, and environmentally conscious society.
Based in Neochori Lefktrou, in the Gonatsa area of Messinian Mani, Peloponnese, the organization is engaged in the design and implementation of cultural actions and innovative initiatives that promote cultural exchange, education, and active dialogue with contemporary social and environmental issues.
Our activities are developed through collaborations in Greece and internationally, strengthening solidarity, intercultural encounter, and environmental awareness.
Our strength lies in the “together”, in this syn.
Because only together can we cultivate the present and shape a better future.
Through the profoundly human-centered practice of the artist (in terms of subject matter), my aim is to transform art into a tool for understanding human nature and its harmonization with nature as a whole. My writing and theatrical work focus on giving voice to the other, on memory, and on deep human experience. Contributing to the advocacy of human rights and values, as well as to the protection of the environment, constitutes a lifelong goal for me.

With a deep awareness of the challenges of contemporary life, I choose to remain optimistic and to persist. I believe that the cultivation of the human spirit—through culture and education—is the only path toward meaningful and lasting change in the world. My guiding principle is “eu agonizesthai”—to strive ethically and with purpose—upholding consistency between words and actions."

The quality of life of every fellow human being - and all that it entails - has been and continues to be my primary concern, acting with a deep sense of responsibility on a daily basis through my scientific field. It is my belief that a holistic approach to health, combining medicine with art, science, and environmental protection, offers a comprehensive therapeutic intervention that leads to human well-being.

The multifaceted nature that a woman inherently embodies became the starting point of a journey through which I discovered abilities and potentials I had never imagined I carried within me.
My roles as a scientist, engaged in research and education, and as a mother, have deepened my appreciation of the value of contribution, as well as of my responsibility towards society as a whole.
My aim is to contribute to a better world — just, peaceful, and merit-based — and to a sustainable environment for us and for our children.
