RepowerGreece!

RepowerGreece is a new online campaign whose mission is to redefine the role and enhance the image of Greece both at home and abroad. It operates under the Institute for Regional Dialogue and Strategy (IPEDIS) - a non-profit organization- and it was initiated by technocrats from both the public and private sector, as well as a variety of academics and diplomats.

The online campaign is based predominantly upon the success stories of people who, through consistency and determination, managed to achieve their goals in the face of overwhelmingly hostile contexts. It also involves opinion-editorials regarding the country’s current predicament, along with suggestions as to the new ways of thinking that should be espoused. Lastly, the campaign involves “snap-thoughts,” or quick ideas that seek to motivate and inspire.

Please feel free to visit RepowerGreece.com. Explore the website and participate in the movement; read the stories and contribute a “snap-thought. If you like the initiative, please try to spread the word by promoting it through your social networks and recommending the site to friends, family and other contacts.
