Agora
The “Agora” of ancient Athens used to be the political, spiritual, philosophical, social and economic center of the city. Politics and Economy coexisted in the same place with full transparency, public checking and social accountability.
In this digital “Agora” we host articles, opinions, views and ideas but also dialogue among the citizens on specific issues. I am looking forward for your participation in a dialogue for local and global matters of common concern.
