Action on Skyros

Then travel to Skyros with the Swiss for Greece outreach group from 7. to 14. October 2023 and get actively involved in helping the forgotten island population.
What are we doing on Skyros?
During the outreach week, the programme is always very varied. Every day there are different activities on the schedule, which are done in smaller groups. So everyone can use their knowledge or manual skills where they are needed or try something new. It doesn’t matter to us what your professional background is, we find something meaningful for everyone to do. So far, we have done all this and more for the islanders, big and small:
- Renovation and painting work
- Help in the restaurant
- Help in the hospital
- Distribution of materials to schools, clubs and individuals
- IT work
- Construction of carpentry work such as racks and sandboxes
- Clearing paths
