On its first Christmas with the city’s public, the Modiano Market could not but celebrate in its own way!

SYMVOLI | Conference and Cultural Management, acting as the Event Management partner of Fais Group, designed and implemented a detailed festive program, including a variety of musical sounds but also storytelling, Christmas craft workshops and themed games to fill the corridors with the spirit and mood of Christmas. The events are spread throughout the Christmas period, from 16 December 2022 to 08 January 2023, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the city’s largest covered food market.

About Modiano Market and Fais Group

The iconic Agora Modiano, an important landmark of Thessaloniki, enters a new era. After six years of absence, the historic Modiano Market in Thessaloniki reopened on Monday 5 December, with a surprise every day for the entire festive season. Its aim is to once again become the Central Food Market of Thessaloniki and at the same time a place of social interaction, culture, gastronomy and events. The Modiano Market is the first designated monument in Greece to be reconstructed and handed over for use by the citizens of Thessaloniki and its visitors. A lifelong landmark of Thessaloniki, as started by its founder, Eli Modiano, in 1922 and continued today by the Fais Group.

The Hellenic Thalassemia Association (ESTHA) in collaboration with the “PIGI ZOIS” Association for the Promotion of Voluntary Blood Donation & Friends of People with Mediterranean Anemia, and the Region of Central Macedonia are co-organizing a day of information and celebration on blood donation.

MEETING REGARDING VOLUNTARY BLOOD DONATION

The day will start with an informative meeting by ESTHA, which will include the latest updates in blood donation and transfusion, a discussion regarding blood donation in Greece, and an intuitive approach to the management of blood and the therapy of patients.

6TH AWARD CEREMONY OF VOLUNTEER BLOOD DONORS OF THE “PIGI ZOIS” ASSOCIATION

In the afternoon the 6^th Award Ceremony of Volunteer Blood Donors from the “PIGI ZOIS” association will take place.

“PIGI ZOIS” is a voluntary non-governmental organization, that has for 25 years been involved in the promotion of voluntary blood donation, especially for the 300 people with Mediterranean Anemia in the city of Thessaloniki, who need about 2 units of blood every 15 days. The main action of the association is the coordination of 3000 blood donors, recorded in their list, for voluntary blood donation to people with Mediterranean Anemia.

So, with this event, they are honoring all the volunteers and rewarding 78 of them, who have completed more than 40 blood donations over the last 25 years.

SYMVOLI will be there to support the important work of ESTHA and PIGI ZOIS once again. Greece’s blood needs are about 650,000 units every year. The only source of blood is the citizens of this country. One time is not enough. Events like this bring forward and remind the constant need for blood donations.

At SYMVOLI we have undertaken the organization of the two-day event entitled Re-think | Re-act, which will take place on June 29 at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall and on June 30 at various places in the city.

June 29 | Re-think! Idea Forum: On the first day, there will be discussed issues such as the economy for the benefit of the public, the urban-rural divide, the need for energy democracy, the empowering of inclusive communities and the safeguarding of democracy and human rights at all levels.

June 30 | Re-act! Ideas in motion: On the second day, various events will be organized in the city, trying to show how the above ideas can be put into practice.

At SYMVOLI we are very happy to collaborate with the Heinrich Böll Stiftung foundation, as the work it performs in Greece, and in 59 (!) other countries in the world where it is based, is very important for highlighting issues connected to the political value of ecology, sustainable development, democracy, human rights, inclusion and gender equality.
