" Using the social media network websites, such as facebook, as means of communication.Target travellers will be: a. those coming into the hostel as a first an easiest contact for the volunteer (to this purpose we also propose one day a week a direct contact with the travellers through the reception activities), b. a list of contacts we have achieved through the years of foreigners interested in the city life that are either living or spending some time in Athens, c. local friends and members of the association and the volunteer will take care of expanding the association local members by promoting membership to all the people taking part to the association events.We are already hosting an EVS volunteer and we had during the last year our first volunteer. We are very satisfied with the acivities performed during these projects.
