Step2School – Summer educational programme
Step2school in Athens and Thessaloniki
METAdrasi’s summer educational programme in schools of Athens and Thessaloniki, continues for the 6th year.
On June 19, 2017, METAdrasi, in cooperation with Open Schools of the Municipality of Athens, initiated a summer education programme. This programme, which takes places in schools throughout Athens, serves to reinforce academic material learning throughout the school year, and more than 3,900 children have participated in the programme thus far.
This is a non-formal education programme, addressed to minors aged 6 to 18, who live in temporary hosting facilities, in accommodation facilities for unaccompanied minors and in apartments, but it also welcomes the children that live in the neighborhood.
The activity provides lessons of Greek, English and German, as well as mathematics and creative projects.
It takes place daily from 10:00 to 18:00 in our education center in Athens and in Thessaloniki.

From 1/1/2019 to 31/06/2020, METAdrasi’s Step2School activity was funded by the Organization’s own resources and the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. Since the summer of 2020, the programme has been operating with the support of the Liu Kuo-Chun Educational Foundation, Hong Kong. Since September 2021 the programme is funded by UNICEF under the All Children in Education action. The contribution of volunteers has been invaluable throughout the activity.
