The journey of the “Social Workshop” young adult group has come to an end. Our final meeting took place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the Wise Monkey reading room (38 Asklipiou Street).
From October 2025 to the present, the group has traveled a shared path, starting with each person’s relationship with themselves, moving through interpersonal relationships, and arriving at a connection with the broader social context.
Throughout this journey, the group operated simultaneously on two levels. On the one hand, through structured meetings with specific themes and objectives, and on the other, through the lived experience of the relationships among members, as these took shape and evolved each time in our shared space.
This journey was not merely a learning process, but a deeply experiential one. Each meeting served as a milestone, gradually contributing to a meaningful shift: from “I” to “we.”
At the end of this journey, the group emerged as something more than the sum of its members. As a “Collective We,” a shared identity that encompasses the experiences, connections, and elements that each and every one of us brought and shared.
And perhaps this is the most meaningful legacy of this journey: that something was created among the people, which continues to exist beyond this cycle of meetings.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants for the trust and commitment with which they supported this shared journey. At the same time, we express our gratitude to Wise Monkey for hosting the event and providing impeccable support for this final and most meaningful farewell gathering.
