Our Content Provider the GAK-Historical Archive of Macedonia have several important collaborations going on with the School of Modern Greek Language at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and with the Municipal Library of Kalamaria.
With the Municipal Library of Kalamaria, we are implementing the educational project "Historical Walk in Thessaloniki - Mosaics of Literature from the archives of the Historical Archive of Macedonia and the Municipal Library of the Municipality of Kalamaria".
The educational activity offers the opportunity to inform members and friends of the Municipal Library, as well as the general public, about the scientific and cultural mission of the Historical Archive of Macedonia of the General State Archives, and the strengthening of historical empathy through the study of archival sources, as well as promotes the fruitful, appropriate interaction of scientific / cultural institutions.
The event took place in a municipal area, the Multipurpose Art Center REMEZZO- Central Library of Kalamaria of the Municipality of Kalamaria. You can find more information about the project here

On behalf of the Municipal Library of the Municipality of Kalamaria, the coordination of the program was undertaken by Andriana Karagiannopoulou, Librarian and the literary texts were read by Angeliki Papadopoulou.
