During these days, 5 participants - the youngest from age 16- coming from different backgrounds, made the visual part of the app real!

The participants got to know more on the app, through walking around Omonia and listening to the special stories of the five “villagers”. And after 2 days of focused work, thanks to the amazing Asimina Kordatzi, Anna Lioliou, Viktor Melistas, Marina Mersiadou and Christina Mitselou, Omonia's heroes became almost tangible.
