The RAAEY painting competition, in collaboration with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) and the School of Fine Arts, is themed “Water is the source of all things” – “everything begins with water,” as Thales of Miletus (c. 624–540 B.C.) stated. The goal is to raise awareness among young people and highlight the vital importance of water, especially today, when water scarcity is a pressing issue both on the islands and in mainland Greece.
The competition is open to three age categories: children up to 12, youth aged 13–18, and adults over 18. It will take place at Pavilion 10 of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), with free materials provided. Winners will receive a laptop, and the results will be announced on the RAAEY website.

With the adoption of Law 5217/2025, Council Directive (EU) 2024/1265 was incorporated into national legislation. Following years of negotiations between Member States and the European Commission, a new fiscal framework has emerged, introducing, among other elements, a transition to a new fiscal rule applicable to all Member States. The panel participants—key contributors to the reform of the institutional framework and its forthcoming implementation—will discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead, as well as the areas where Greece and other Member States must demonstrate diligence and careful planning. In parallel, they will explore how these changes at the European level affect national legal systems, particularly the institutional framework related to public accounting and fiscal oversight, with special reference to Law 4270/2014. |

Digitalization in Employment: Its Impact on the Quality of Work and Personal Life |
19:00
|

|
Job quality encompasses concepts such as fair remuneration, safety, work-life balance, and career development opportunities. Proper regulation and implementation of working time are essential for maintaining both mental and physical health.
Today, the widespread use of digital tools—both within and beyond the workplace—leads to information overload and blurs the boundaries between work and personal life.
This workshop explores the delicate balance between digitalization in the workplace and the need to uphold the framework of rules that ensure quality employment and safeguard labor relations. It also addresses the psychosocial risks that arise when the use of digital media becomes excessive or abusive. |

The State Budget is the main instrument for implementing government policies, reflecting both revenues and their allocation. However, it is particularly difficult to assess the degree of compliance with national and European regulations, the level of social justice, and the culture of fiscal sustainability that should underpin it. The Citizens’ Budget facilitates the understanding of these aspects by bringing citizens into contact with public finances each year, as it offers a non-technical presentation of the approved budget. |

The RAAEY painting competition, in collaboration with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) and the School of Fine Arts, is themed “Water is the source of all things” – “everything begins with water,” as Thales of Miletus (c. 624–540 B.C.) stated. The goal is to raise awareness among young people and highlight the vital importance of water, especially today, when water scarcity is a pressing issue both on the islands and in mainland Greece.
The competition is open to three age categories: children up to 12, youth aged 13–18, and adults over 18. It will take place at Pavilion 10 of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), with free materials provided. Winners will receive a laptop, and the results will be announced on the RAAEY website.

Paola is the living example that utopia is not impossible – if you have the courage to be true. A rock soul on a laiko stage, a woman who stands more `manly` than the men beside her, she continues to break the rules of a world where many survive, but few can be adored. |
