Film production and exploitation company that deals mainly with documentary co-productions worldwide.

Our mission is the enforcement of democracy and of a system of values through the exercise and empowerment of critical thinking, endorsement of dialogue, the development of the ability to express yourself fluently and correctly, the socialization of students and the growth of fair play within a safe environment for each one of them. We are educated and then educate others in the rules and principles of debate and the technique of speaking in public with no fear.

The Delia Arts Foundation helps musicians from conflict zones and marginalized communities fulfill their dreams. We do this by creating opportunities for talented musicians to be heard by a broader audience, by providing training opportunities, and building music industry infrastructure on the ground through our physical cultural centers. Our goal is to help create an economy where musicians, regardless of their socio-economic or geo-political background, can make music their full- time career.

The Delia Arts Foundation was started in 2018 by musician, producer, and philanthropist John Keating (Johno). He has worked widely throughout the Middle East, Africa and Europe, and saw a need to help musicians from these regions.

We are giving musicians the knowledge and tools that will move them along the path from “talented amateurs” to “professional musicians”. Arts funders generally focus on providing music education to children and amateur musicians. In areas of the world with a thriving music industry, this model works well, because these talents have plenty of opportunities to move into the professional realm. In regions with little infrastructure, these artists need the support we’re providing to take that next step and reach their full potential.

We recognize that in certain geographic locations where we work, there are greater barriers for artists to be heard. In some cases artists are living in conflict zones, challenging geopolitical situations, or are from a region that is negatively stereotyped by the audience they’re trying to reach. We see music as a creative language that can connect people of diverse backgrounds and change negative perceptions. These barriers are not obstacles, but opportunities for these musicians to promote positive changes for themselves and their communities by sharing their talents and stories.

This is the best point in history to be a creative person. There are endless opportunities through the internet to connect with audiences and attract new listeners. Musicians don’t need a whole lot of money to get started and release their own music. But these opportunities are not accessible everywhere due to barriers such as language and technology skills. Through on-site training, competitions and performances, and social media exposure to an international audience, we will grow the power of these creative voices until everyone has the opportunity to be heard.

I want to participate in literature events in Rhodes and generally in Greece. The most amazing thing is to knew other writers and discuss with them about literature subjects. However, my willing to transfer the passion about literature and writing stories in the classroom is one of my goals.  
The research on literature theories, writers and narrative ways is another area that I intend to enter deeper, because of my Phd in literature.
