Pianist and Lyric Writer cell phone: 6977829890 (any time during the day) xkokota@gmail.com Description of activities: Creative centers of Dafni-Ymittos are the first and only social free afternoon service existing for children. The concept is that every child matters and no one is excluded due to financial or social reasons. Activities like music concerts, playing through theatre and environmental games are essential to the children s need to express themselves. This is my concern afterall, the way that young citizens can use art and culture as part of their daily and social life, in order to improve our society. 7)
