As you are reading these lines, our team is discussing all together about the wonderful time we had in Thessaloniki. For those who don’t now it yet, a couple of days ago at 5th of March we had our Launch Event in Thessaloniki. But let’s take it step-by-step so as to let you get a clear insight on what has happened during the last days!

The Beginning
Expanding our headquarters in Thessaloniki was a thought we had for many months. Thessaloniki is a unique city. It is a city that you can feel the energy of young people. Having already many volunteers based there, we kept being asked to support more and more events in the «co-capital » of Greece.

The Journey
The time is up, the preparations are over and it’s time to catch the train that will take us to Thessaloniki. From the first day, Thessaloniki was majestic! We had time to hang-out and have deeply interesting conversations with our volunteers. We discussed about the needs of the city and the needs of the people. The aim was to find the way to get Thessaloniki to the next volunteerism level.

From the very beginning GloVo is all about empowering people to do what they truly love. And believe us, we got a tons of ideas on how to achieve that for people in Thessaloniki. Our launch event was full of young people that wanted to make the change
in their city and they wanted to be more active. Taking place at «Coho – The Coworking Home» young people gathered for our Launch Event. It was amazing to see them being interested in GloVo. The enthusiasm was all over the place .

Furthermore, we had the opportunity to deliver a speech at University of Macedonia. There we had the most warming welcome. We got to know many organizations that have already done significant actions in their city and we are looking forward to cooperate with them so as to have positive impact in the local society .

The Day After
We couldn’t be more happy about the last days. It was fulfilling to meet so many new people that are interested in volunteering, unwrap the next steps of GloVo and share our passion with them. As Picasso believed «Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working». So during the next days we are going to focus on Thessaloniki and start building the whole volunteer experience for volunteers that live there. Get ready for us Thessaloniki!
