Two bookstores in Thessaloniki that are writing their own history in the intellectual activity of the city, "Akivernites Polities" in Alexandrou Svolou street and "Oblik" in Spandoni street in Kapani market, hosted the publications of the Heinrich Böll Foundation on the occasion of our anniversary events.

The Foundation's office in Greece has produced more than 30 publications in recent years, on issues such as energy poverty, gender equality, racism and other forms of discrimination, asylum legislation, migration, housing and social housing, cooperative institutional framework, etc., and they are characterized by scientific methodology, reliability and completeness. Proud of this rich and important publishing activity, we wanted to bring our books closer to the public of the city, and especially to the public of small and cooperative bookstores, as our topics fall squarely within their interests and concerns. We set up special plexiglas stands in a corner inside these bookstores, letting customers see the titles, browse the books, and of course get what they want for free, as our publications, whether digital or print, are available free of charge anyway.

The project has been a great success, we are told that the public has responded very well and the stands have been in the bookstores for much longer than the one day originally planned!
