Freizeitaktivitäten für syrische Flüchtlinge in Larisa

von Vaggelis Kousioras

Die Stadtverwaltung von Larisa (Griechenland) hat eine ganze Reihe von Freizeitaktivitäten in den Bereichen Bildung, Kultur, Sport und Unterhaltung ins Leben gerufen, von denen nicht nur die Bewohner der Stadt, sondern auch die Flüchtlinge profitieren können, die im nahegelegenen Flüchtlingscamp von Koutsohero leben.

Darüber hinaus koordiniert sie unterschiedliche Maßnahmen, um die Flüchtlinge in der Region Thessalien zu unterstützen. Entstanden ist ein Netzwerk, das von der UNHCR-Vertretung in Griechenland, Nichtregierungsorganisationen, Sozialarbeiterinnen und Sozialarbeitern, Lehrerinnen und Lehrern des privaten und öffentlichen Sektors, lokalen Unternehmen, Freiwilligen und vielen anderen unterstützt wird.

Auch ich bin Teil dieses Netzwerks und arbeite seit Februar 2017 als ehrenamtlicher Fotograf. Ich habe es mir zur Aufgabe gemacht, den Alltag der Flüchtlinge in Larisa – der Stadt, in der ich lebe – zu fotografieren.
