    Description

    Hello, Workawayers! I'm Evita, the heart and soul behind a Creative Cultural Hub, located in the vibrant city center of Thessaloniki, Greece. I'm a dedicated creative spirit with a passion for bringing people together through art, culture, and community.

    My Family:
    I am a single mother by choice to an adorable 7-month-old baby (born in August 2024 so depending when you read this you can do the math :) ), and together we're exploring the wonders of life, guided by the Montessori method. My family also includes two loving dogs, who are an integral part of our daily lives and the welcoming atmosphere here.

    The Hub:
    It is more than just a space; it's a vision of a world where creativity, collaboration, and cultural exchange thrive. We focus on a wide range of artistic disciplines, including theater, dance, music, and more, with a special emphasis on projects that integrate immigrants and refugees. The hub serves as a rehearsal space, a workshop area, and an office, buzzing with creative energy and innovative ideas.

    Our mission is to use art as a tool for societal healing and to create a space where diverse cultures and communities can come together. We aim to foster an environment of learning, sharing, and growth, both for the local community and for travelers from around the world.

    Joining the team:
    By joining us, you'll become part of a dynamic and supportive community. You'll have the opportunity to engage in creative projects, support in childcare, and contribute to the maintenance of our unique space. In return, you'll experience the rich culture of Thessaloniki, learn new skills, and make lasting connections.

    We're excited to welcome open-minded, creative individuals who are passionate about cultural exchange and eager to contribute to our vibrant community. Let's create, learn, and grow together!

    Warm regards,
    Evita
