Athens
Athens is the historical capital of Europe!
Athens is the historical capital of Europe, the birthplace of democracy, arts, science and philosophy of western civilization however faces a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges that Impactrip volunteers help address.
While tourism significantly boosts Athens' economy, it also causes overcrowding, strains infrastructure, and leads to environmental degradation, especially in historic and natural sites. The city has been impacted by financial crises, resulting in high unemployment, increased poverty, and food insecurity.
Athens' diverse and growing population includes migrants and refugees who need support for community integration, such as language instruction and job training. The aging population also requires increased care and social programs.
Impactrip's volunteer programs tackle these issues through environmental conservation efforts, like pollution reduction and site preservation, and social initiatives such as food rescue and assistance for migrants, refugees, and the elderly.
These programs enhance residents' quality of life, protect the environment, and support the economy, while fostering cultural understanding and solidarity.
