At OCC, many of our projects are based on creating (physical) “safe spaces”. This term generally refers to “a place in which a person or a particular group of people can know that they will be free from harm or criticism” (Oxford Dictionary).
One example is the Community Cafeteria at OCC Greece, where everyone from any background is more than welcome. The Cafeteria is a place to disconnect and get to know other people, play games, meet the volunteers, escape from the stressful environment of the Nea Kavala camp, etc. It is a center of cultural exchange.
The Cafeteria is open from 10:00 to 2:00 pm and from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm every day from Monday to Friday. It offers free tea, coffee, board games, books, and internet connection. Drop by the office of OCC Greece to visit it!
Address: Meg. Alexandrou 149, 61200, Polikastro.
