Joyce 'n' Fun

Joyce 'n' Fun is a social cooperative on the island of Skiathos, Greece. Skiathos is a small island full of tourists in the summer but where young people don't really have the opportunity to open up their mind the rest of the time. We created our social cooperative as a way to give to the children more opportunities to discover the world through the eyes of our volunteers. Our main objectives are to help children of all age discover foreign languages and cultures,through workshops, activities and games and help teenagers develop new talents in their more advanced workshops. In that way, we want to modernise education by promoting its non-formal, life-long forms. Working and playing with the children and teenagers of Skiathos is a wonderful opportunity for all of volunteers to find again that lost child we all have in us. Sharing their knowledge of their own country's habits and culture with the children and other volunteers helps them create a better identity as a citizen of their country but also of Europe. Our organization's actions promote active citizenship, intercultural diversity and social involvement while we stimulate social and cultural tolerance to form an open minded civil society
