YIANNIS PAPPAS

I studied Italian Language & Philology at the University of Strasbourg, obtained a master's degree in Conference Interpretation from the University of Strasbourg (EN & FR > GR) and also have a professional diploma in Digital Marketing from Alba Graduate Business School. I am the COO of MENTOR, a successful company I co-founded in 2014, which provides innovative cultural production and management services. MENTOR invests in developing synergies with public and private actors and professionals in the cultural and creative sectors, as well as with the academic and research community at national and international levels.I am also a co-founder of CHORUS, a non-profit organization that supports civil society initiatives, promotes respect for human rights and It upholds humanitarian ideals through art, culture and education. Study Abroad in Greece (SaiG) is one of CHORUS's most important initiatives, through which international students participate in specialized academic tourism programs throughout Greece. o sum it all up, I'm a culturepreneur hailing from Chios, Greece, who is both sensitive to and repulsed by prejudice, bigotry, physical and verbal abuse, and mistreatment of any living creature, and who is also a firm believer in the power of socially active citizens to affect positive change in the world through their words, deeds, beliefs, and outlook on life.
