Emphasis was placed on the role that creativity and art, especially craftsmanship, can play in women’s empowerment.

“Through Creation, the Woman can express herself, develop qualifications and skills, be financially independent, participate in collective life, leaving her own imprint everywhere,” said Mareva Mitsotaki.

Speaking about the role of the Hellenic High School, he emphasized “even though your project draws values ​​from the past, it is in fact perfectly harmonized with the modern needs of man. After all, tradition is not a static quantity, but a dynamic one. That’s exactly why it meets today’s needs.”

Mareva Mitsotaki did not fail to mention the trend observed in the art world internationally for a return to craftsmanship, something that stems from the human need to return to simplicity and authenticity, while emphasizing that the trend also has economic implications. It is associated with professional rehabilitation, the creation of new jobs, the tourist promotion of areas, exports and sustainable development.
