The Cube Athens - SOLE Greece
Maria Calafatis is the Co Founder of The Cube Athens, which brings together people who are open to new ideas, love innovation and seek change through applicable initiatives.
Members of The Cube Athens ecosystem visited Lesvos as part of a hackathon activity last September and saw first hand the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
SOLEGreece was the outcome of that weekend..
"A Self-Organized Learning Environment, or SOLE, can exist anywhere there is a computer, Internet connection, and students who are ready to learn.
SOLE Greece was established in response to the needs of refugee children stranded in Greece.
Over 20,000 children and their families are seeking relocation in Europe after being displaced due to conflicts in the Middle East.
Most of these children have been out of school for over a year and some have never been to school.
SOLE Greece facilitates learning for children ages 6 - 16 in their own language and with content sensitive to their cultural and historical background.
Next steps are to expand the SOLE methodology into camps in central Greece. Our SOLE will be a mobile school bus that travels from camp to camp.
