Epi Skopon was created by 4 political science students and now a pair is left to visualize the coming. Along of course with some 40 volunteers and lot's of great partners. Or main and most of the time only sources of funding are self-financed projects on the cultural field or -fewer times- on youth and education. Sometimes cooperation with some coterminous Municipalities and for 2014 projects as part of "Thessaloniki: European Youth Capital 2014".
"Epi Skopon" is a Cultural Organization based in Thessaloniki aiming at the enrichment of the cultural program of the surrounding region with valuable and rare events across the spectrum of culture. Bring young creators forward. Connect the youth with culture. Built structures and networks able to generate and sustain cultural development.

Know-how on cultural development, projects, events. Expanding the network and..networking it with the networks we already work with. Bringing the civil society of North Greece closer to the counterparts on the rest of the world.
Networking throughout the Mediterranean is inspiring. Many of ours projects involve people and artist from the Mediterranean. We can foster relations with other Organizations on our field of work and help structure a common ground for the total of our societies.
