Third annual Tiganokinisi festival to take place in Athalassa

The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, in collaboration with the AKTI Center for Studies and Research, is organizing the 3rd annual Tiganokinisi festival. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Athalassa Environmental Information and Education Center.

The festival aims to promote environmental awareness among families and school groups. A primary feature of the program is the awards ceremony honoring schools and supporters that collected the largest quantities of used cooking oil during the 2025-2026 academic year. Beyond the awards, the event will host interactive sustainability stations focusing on biodiversity, energy, water conservation, and oil management, offering participants games, experiments, and educational activities.

This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to manage cooking oil waste and promote sustainable practices. It follows the collection cycle of the previous academic year and serves as a public platform for environmental education, inviting both children and adults to engage with ecological issues through hands-on learning experiences.
