Celebrate this year’s European Day of Languages with us at the National Garden in Athens!

For the 9th consecutive year, the educational and cultural institutions and embassies from fourteen member countries of EUNIC Athens offer the visitors the opportunity to take part in a multilingual storytelling festival with tales from the oral tradition of European countries, join educational workshops for children, interact with the organisers and receive a range of gifts.

Saturday 25 September 2021, 10:00 to 16:00, Children’s Library at the National Garden in Athens.

An interactive educational workshop for families created by the multidisciplinary team of The Bee Camp on the importance of the bees for the planet. Through interactive activities and games for families we aim to raise awareness about the important role of the bees, their role on pollination and the issues they face on a world level. The participants will be invited to explore life in the hive through a theater game and learn all about how they can take actions to protect the bees! This event is part of the Bees & Buzz activities, that aims to create awareness on the protection of the urban biodiversity, focusing on the vital role of parks and green spaces for supporting pollinators in urban environments.

Saturday 25 September at 12.00, outdoor space by the Children’s library, National Garden.

We are transforming Kitsiki park to a bee friendly oasis in the grey city center. Join us and help us create a Bee Spot with The Bee Camp team! Together we will create a safe haven for the city bees and other pollinators. With natural materials, we will make an insect hotel for the city bees and we will plant bee friendly plants that provide pollen and nectar all year long to the starving bee urban populations. Join us to make the center of Athens more greener and more bee friendly while learning all about biodiversity, bees and their important role! This event is part of the Bees & Buzz activities, that aims to create awareness on the protection of the urban biodiversity, focusing on the vital role of parks and green spaces for supporting pollinators in urban environments.

Sunday 26 September at 11.00, Kitsiki park, entrance from Deinokratous street.
