Hand-in-hand with the Foundation’s founder John Christodoulou, as well as Konstantinos Argiros and other celebrities, participants of all ages formed the longest alternating chain of people clasping wrists, while at the same time sending a message of teamwork, cooperation and unity.

The event ended in the best possible way since everyone participating in the chain’s creation had the opportunity to enjoy the free concert by popular singer Konstantinos Argiros that followed.

The happening took place under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth, confirming the importance of the event and the strong messages about the power of cooperation it conveyed to children, a valuable asset for their future.

We thank all the participants who make this effort a reality!
