Who We Are

Not Another Organization for Youth

Created by young people with fewer opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities, System and G is a learning-to-learn project itself!

A Real Success Story

In June 2010, two ex-EVS volunteers decided to create an informal group to offer mobility and non-formal education opportunities to Greek youth of the Olympic Village. Just 6 months later, it became an NGO.

Our Compass is You(th)

We prioritize youngsters with fewer opportunities, organizing quality local, national, and international projects to give them international experience, and supportive competence development.

Serious Fun Learning

Before we became facilitators, we were participants. We combine outdoor and digital tools, traditional and new methods, ensuring that learners choose the method that fits them best.
