Mediterranean College is creating unique Xmas Stories and invites you to the most amazing Xmas Happenings in Athens and Thessaloniki!
MC is dressing up for the season and invites everyone to “unwind” the Christmas thread together through the activities it has planned and… “offers a gift for everyone,” creating special MC Xmas Stories!
From December 4 to 19, 2024, in Athens and Thessaloniki, MC, in collaboration with the Student’s Affairs Office and the Students’ Union, is organizing Christmas Activations as part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
As American author Peg Bracken once said, “The gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of truly good Christmases.” Inspired by this, Mediterranean College invites all of us to contribute our own “gift” to make our world a little brighter.
