Campfire Innovation: Smart Aid Gatherings

2018 Community Micro Grant Recipients is Smart Aid Gatherings from Campfire Innovation, in Greece

Project leader Joanna Maria Theodorou describes the project:

The funds are used for the expenses of organising regular events in Athens that bring together a diverse community of volunteers, aid workers, social entrepreneurs and volunteers to discuss innovative and impactful approaches to humanitarian aid. The discussion is based on real life examples invited as speakers. We are also planning to use a portion of the funds to cover a visit to Lesvos or Northern Greece and host a similar event in this non-Athens location to spread the concept of effective aid beyond our immediate community.

The events are organised by the Field Team (2-3 people) and supported by the Media Team (2-3 people). On average, every month 5-6 people work on each event with attendance between 40-60 people per event.
