EFG EUROBANK “INVESTS” IN EDUCATION
On Tuesday, 27 September 2005, the best students of the Chios region received their awards from EFG Eurobank during a special ceremony at the Homereion Cultural Centre. This ceremony was the third in a series of 30 events organised by EFG Eurobank in various Greek prefectures, as part of its sponsorship programme “The great moment for Education”.
The sponsorship programme, “The great moment for Education”, which was launched by EFG Eurobank in 2003, represents a major educational initiative that further enhances the group’s already strong sponsoring activity in the field of Education, in addition to the fields of Culture, Environment and Sports.
The main aim of this programme is to support and reward school students in their “struggle” for knowledge. Wishing to help the young generation achieve its high objectives, EFG Eurobank strengthens the Group’s contribution to the community in which it operates.
The sponsorship programme, “The great moment for Education” is supported by the Ministry of Education and it concerns over 230,000 pupils graduating from senior high school throughout Greece. In the context of the programme, EFG Eurobank rewards each year the pupil who achieved the highest marks for admission to tertiary education. The programme includes all 1,300 high schools in Greece, public and private, daily or evening. The award is accompanied by the amount of € 1,000, which is deposited in a savings account at an EFG Eurobank’s branch in the relevant city.
The following dignitaries honoured the event with their presence: Deputy Regional Governors Panagiotis Kamitsis and Nicolaos Nyctas, the President of the Chios Regional Council Stylianos Kambouris, Regional Council Members Panagiotis Kritikos and Apostolia Lykou, Deputy Mayor Antonios Lardas, representing the Mayor, Chios Municpal Councillors Cosmas Avramidis, Petros Riskakis and Michael Fytousis, together with several local government officials. Also present at the ceremony were, the Secondary Education Director for Chios, Pavlos Kalogerakis, representing the Ministry of Education and many representatives of primary and secondary education, as well as members of the region’s economic and social life.
