In a recent engaging discussion, SNF Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos met with the founder and editor of @_shedia, an organization supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation since 2012. The conversation centered around the vital roles that philanthropy, civil society, and individuals play in fostering a better world.

During the conversation, the founder of @_shedia shared insights on how their organization has worked tirelessly to support homeless individuals in Greece. By providing essential services and raising awareness, civil society can drive significant change and influence public policy.

Empowering Individuals

The discussion also touched on the power of individual action. Dracopoulos and the @_shedia team encouraged listeners to recognize their potential to effect change. Whether through small acts of kindness or larger commitments to social causes, every individual can contribute to a more equitable society.
