On 18th September, the EU-WEBSPI team recently gathered in person once again, reaffirming our commitment to improving access to essential services through quality interpreting solutions. Hosted by our partner METAdrasi in Athens, this meeting offered an insightful look into the local context, deepening our understanding of the challenges and progress in the region.
The event kicked off with our annual in-person General Assembly, where we reviewed the project’s achievements and discussed future priorities. The opportunity to meet face-to-face facilitated important, productive conversations on our continued advancement.
After the assembly, we had the privilege of virtually meeting Ms. Kakosimou, Director of Support at the Greek Asylum Service. She provided valuable insights into the operational framework of the Greek Asylum Service, offering us a clearer understanding of the current asylum processes.
We also had the opportunity to visit the Reception and Identification Centre (RIC) in Malakassa, where we were welcomed by the Commander, Mr. Christou. He guided us through the reception and registration process for refugees, sharing key insights into the day-to-day realities and challenges at the center.
This day of meaningful exchanges left our team energised and inspired, as we move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and determination to continue our work in improving access to essential services through effective interpreting solutions.
