3rd Youth Theatre Festival
Following on from the 2nd Teenage Theatre Festival in the spring of 2012, Grasshopper and the Onassis Cultural Centre bring renewed enthusiasm and inspiration to the staging of the 3rd Teenage Theatre Festival. Over three days, theatre groups from secondary schools, lycées and municipalities will perform work that has developed out of their intense engagement with theatre professionals: playwrights, directors, actors and dramatists.Our goal is a high-quality Greek theatre for teenagers—but not only—which puts the creativity, imagination and talent of the upcoming generation to full use through our interactions with them.

The 9th International Festival of Digital Arts & New Media, "Athens Video Art Festival" is a fact. On June, 7th - 9th exhibitions, screenings, workshops and live acts will be hosted at the Historical Centre of Athens, opening a dialogue between public and private space.
With its undisputable charm, this area is one of the most frequented by visitors and natives alike. Plaka's winding pathways carry thousands of years of history. Walk amongst the buildings whose facades are dressed in 19th century neoclassical design and architecture. Dine at one or several of its restaurants. And explore the ancient monuments, contemporary museums and traditional souvenir shops throughout.
Its befitting that this monument the center of commercial and business life in ancient times would later give rise to the buzzing shopping district that surrounds it today. Of course, Monastiraki does not compare to the milieu of the ancient agora, but it still continues to inspire those who live, work and visit the area.
