Students of the HELIOS Programme visited the new building complex of the National Gallery in Athens, taking pleasure in a guided journey through the history of modern Greek art. They enjoyed the works of the post-Byzantine period, the Cretan and Ionian School, Greek modernism, as well as collections of Western European painters, followed by a discussion on Greek art history, which offered the students the opportunity to share information about art in their country.

METAdrasi is a key partner of IOM Greece for the implementation of the HELIOS project in Athens. The HELIOS project aims to support beneficiaries of international protection to integrate into Greek society offering a variety of services promoting independent living including rental subsidies, integration courses and employability support. The project as of January 1st 2022 is funded through the co-financed part of the Public Investment Programme of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
