PRESS RELEASE
The innovation agency Among and the company TITAN continue dynamically the community of young professionals together, presenting the 2nd cycle of the program (October-December 2022) which focuses on 4 pillars: #togetnetwork#togetskills#togetwellbeing#togetevents
The need for together was born in Thessaloniki in the midst of quarantine, when among other challenges, the young people – and not only – abruptly redefined our habits and daily life. So listening to the young people around us experiencing isolation, lack of opportunities, limitation of professional networking, we came face to face with a phenomenon, which we want to combat through the youth community together! The purpose of together is to create a community of young professionals (25-35 years old) in Thessaloniki, which:
● Networks with city agencies and the opportunities they offer #togetnetwork
● Strengthens professionally with trainings on modern skills #togetskills
● Actively participates in the local community of Thessaloniki, having fun, relaxing and offering #togetwellbeing
● Organizes events open to the residents of Thessaloniki on issues that concern us today #togetevents
Be part of the 2nd cycle of the professional community together (October-December) to network, meet young people with similar concerns as you, discover Thessaloniki and its people. Together we strengthen the core of young people who remain in the city :).
