The Heroes of Digea
Our social awareness in conjunction with the advanced digital environment in which we operate inspired Digea’s Corporate Social Responsibility Program «Heroes of Digea».
The exciting journey for the «Heroes of Digea» started in November 2018 from Athens. Very soon it continued with subsequent destinations Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Patra, offering love, joy, entertainment and many gifts to more than 1.000 children who are hosted or supported by institutions.
In collaboration with Odeon Cinema, children who were hosted in institutions such as “Melissa“, the “SOS Children’s Villages“, the “Greek Children’s Village“, the “Lighthouse of the World“, the ” Child Protection Center of Heraklion“, the “Home for Male Minors of Heraklion“, the “Child and Family Support Center” of the SOS Children’s Villages of Patras, the “Ark of Love“, the Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Action “The Bright Star” and the “K.K.P.P.D.E. Skagiopouleio Orphanage“, had the opportunity to walk on the “Orange Carpet”, enjoy children’s movies, play electronic games and have fun with creative activities.
With the active participation and support of people from the artistic, media and business world, we shared the joy of entertainment and creation.
