WHO WE ARE
Bridging Local Insight and Global Vision
The Navarino Network is a dynamic, locally rooted initiative harnessing youth energy and global expertise to shape innovative, regionally focused policy discussions and strategic solutions.
The Initiative
A home-grown initiative, aware of both local sensitivities and the demands presented by the wider world, can contribute to the renewal of the broader policy debate in regards to the city and its region.
The NN is an initiative of the Northern Greece Entrepreneurs Cultural Society.
Taking advantage of and putting to good use the enthusiasm of its energetic student youth, it envisions a hospitable network for the development of new thinking in regards to current and future policy challenges.
It is precisely this forward-looking, regionally focused, innovating, and dynamic spirit that the Navarino Network tries to encapsulate.
The Network
The ΝΝ is comprised of friends, members, advisors, staffers, partners and a director.
The NN relies upon the work of volunteers, the generosity of sponsors and the support of institutional grants
The NN benefits from the expertise of an international network that includes innovative thinkers and opinion-makers.
An international advisory committee assists in the strategic planning.
