OUR ACTIVITIES

METADRASI – ACTION FOR MIGRATION & DEVELOPMENT

METAdrasi was founded in December 2009, with the mission to cover crucial gaps in the reception and integration of refugees and migrants in Greece. Most of METAdrasi’s activities are innovative and implemented for the first time in Greece. They are focused on the fields of interpretation and the creation of a comprehensive safety net for unaccompanied minors.
