Aglaia Patsalidou Leads the Way with ParkVol Initiative

About ParkVol
ParkVol is the first student-led volunteer organization in Nicosia dedicated to the enhancement of a public space. Aglaia’s vision is to turn Ayios Dimitrios Park into a lively hub for social interaction, creativity, and community building. The initiative is a shining example of youth-led action, blending environmental stewardship with artistic expression and community engagement.

The organization offers a range of volunteering opportunities, encouraging students to:

• Participate in tree planting and park clean-ups
• Organize and attend artistic and musical events
• Host and join sports activities
• Engage in creative initiatives that promote collective action and inspire solidarity

Through these activities, ParkVol fosters a sense of ownership and pride among student volunteers, empowering them to leave a meaningful mark on their community.

Upcoming Event
The first ParkVol event, a clean-up of Ayios Dimitrios Park, will take place on Saturday, January 25, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. This event is held under the auspices of the Mayor of Strovolos, Mr. Stavros Stavrinides. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students and community members to come together and contribute to this transformative project.

A Call to Action
