Our work

Social Actions to Support Vulnerable Groups and Awareness

Having the promotion of voluntary work as its main mission and aiming at contributing to the personal development of the individual and his/her evolution as a world citizen of the world through active social participation, ELIX has developed during the recent years a number of activities and projects that seek to address social problems and mitigate the effects of the economic and social crisis.

Our projects are aiming mainly at children, young people and their families residing in Greece but also, at children and young people reside in Greece due to the refugee crisis of 2015.

In addition, we implement work experience programs, which support unemployed and young graduates.

    ILEARN – Innovative Learning Environment for Refugee Adult Language Needs is a one-year Erasmus+ Small-Scale Partnership project focused on strengthening language education for adult refugees through innovative, inclusive, and practice-based learning environments.

    Ilearn

    Building on ELIX’s long-standing work in non-formal education, ILEARN creates space for reflection, evaluation, and consolidation of educational practices developed over the years. Through close collaboration and knowledge exchange, the project promotes capacity building and the transferability of learning materials across different educational contexts.

    Within the framework of the Small-Scale Partnership programme, Dråpen i Havet collaborates with ELIX, the University of Bergen, and the Second Chance School of Kalamata to develop training modules and approaches tailored to the needs of educators and organisations working in adult refugee education. Drawing on the combined expertise of practitioners, researchers, and educational institutions, the partnership ensures that the project outputs are both academically informed and practically applicable.

    By combining practical implementation, reflective processes, and stakeholder engagement, ILEARN contributes to improving the quality, sustainability, and impact of refugee adult language education, while fostering collaboration among educators, institutions, and community actors.
