Kozani, like other areas in Greece can utilize existing buildings for the temporary accommodation of refugees. One example is the Xenia hotel which is currently closed and unused. The building has the necessary infrastructure such as rooms and common areas, which can be renovated to provide safe and dignified housing. With the right renovation, the Xenia hotel could meet the refugees needs, offering access to essential services and facilitating their social integration into the local community. -
Refugees in Kozani can start businesses that share their culture, like restaurants or shops with traditional food and crafts. These businesses would bring new things to the local community. They could also organize cultural events like music and dance, helping refugees and locals get to know each other better. This would help everyone feel included, celebrate diversity, and help the local economy grow, making the community stronger and more connected. -
Our school can help refugees by offering language classes to improve communication.We can also create activities where refugees and local students can share their cultures, such as music, food, and traditions. Organizing group discussions or peer support groups would give refugees a chance to feel heard and supported. These actions will make refugees feel more accepted and help them adjust to their new life. Involving everyone in these activities creates a more welcoming and inclusive community. -
