Map of grassroots groups in Greece

By omikronproject.gr
Still think Greeks are sitting idle, the helpless victims of events in their country? Think again. In March and April 2013 we carried out a study to map all the grassroots movements in Greece who are stepping in where the system is failing.

Here’s the result: a poster showing all the groups that are currently active in Greece, split into nine categories from neighbourhood assemblies to education movements to alternative micro-economies, with information on each group and details of an example group in each category.

We’ve also included a list of all these groups in text format, with links to their websites (below).

Like all our productions, this poster is made available under the Creative Commons license. Download it in high-resolution format and use it however you want.

These groups were all verified by us as grassroots, explicitly not-for-profit, Greece-based and active as of May 2013. If you notice any errors or omissions, let us know and we’ll make the necessary changes to the list below, as well as in the next version of the poster!
