On Wednesday, the 24th of February, at 6.00 p.m., Life Andros, which is realized with the contribution of the LIFE financial instrument of the European Union, was presented to the members of Andros Society in Piraeus in the Society’s premises on 162 Kountouriotou str.
The presentation was part of the project’s promotional program, which aims to acquaint Andros organizations and residents with Life and increase awareness and volunteer participation in actions for the protection of the island’s environment.
Present in the event was the Mayor of Andros, Mr. Theodosis Sousoudis, who presented the goals of the project and its realization progress. He also talked about the new Life proposal that the Municipality has committed in partnership with the Agricultural University of Athens and NCC.
