Cultural activities for ESTIA unaccompanied minor refugees
On April 11 minor refugees from ESTIA Guest House, run by APOSTOLI, visited the recently renovated Agia Filothei of Athens (Benizelos-Palaiologon residence) at Plaka, operated by APOSTOLI of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens. The children were impressed when guided around and learned of the house’s history; then they participated in an interactive game under specialized staff.
On April 18, International Day for Monuments and Sites by International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and UNESCO, the ESTIA guests visited the Acropolis museum. Minor refugees were guided in the museum premises and were impressed by the exhibits, the value of the world’s cultural heritage and the history of the museum.
After the visit a traditional meal from the countries of origin of the children was offered at a restaurant downtown Athens.
