The teenagers' exchange "Justice and Equality" took place in Nea Makri, from the 19th to the 27th of July. The aim of this program was to inform young people about democracy and to cultivate equality among them. Through workshops, interactive games, activities and city trips, the teenage participants came together, exchanged views, and gained new knowledge through non-formal education.

After their experience, they shared with us how they spent their time, what they gained from this opportunity, and if what they learned affected them in their daily life.
