The workers of Open Cultural Center join the 8M movements across countries and raise our voices together against precarious work, borders and genocides.
We’re Live: Explore the New OCC Website!
Open Cultural Center is excited to announce the launch of our refreshed, more user-friendly website. After months of dedicated work, the new site provides a clearer, more accessible way to explore our programmes, get involved, and connect with the stories of our communities in Greece and Spain.
As OCC has grown, our previous website no longer reflected the scale or impact of our work. The redesigned site creates a welcoming, modern space where volunteers, partners, community members, and supporters can engage with our mission.
Why We Redesigned
Our previous site had limitations that made it harder to engage with our work:
-
Project information was scattered and difficult to locate
-
Stories from volunteers and community members were underrepresented
-
Navigation and accessibility were not optimised for mobile and tablet
The redesign addresses these issues while highlighting the human impact of OCC’s programmes.
New and larger projects require better visibility.
What’s New on the Site
Easier Navigation
Information is now organised clearly, so you can quickly find:
-
Educational programmes in Greece
-
Community initiatives and tech-inclusion projects in Spain
-
Opportunities to volunteer, support, or collaborate
Updated Content and Visuals
Every page has been refreshed to showcase:
-
Detailed project descriptions, including Women’s Space, language labs, and employability workshops
-
Stories from volunteers, learners, and community members
-
New images, logos, and layouts to improve readability
Community-Focused Storytelling
Volunteers’ Experiences
Real accounts highlight volunteers’ contributions and personal growth.
Beneficiaries’ Journeys
Stories from community members show how our programmes make a tangible difference.
Local Community Reflections
Insights from local residents illustrate collaboration and inclusion.
Our team's work deserves a online space to display their impact.
Our Values Remain the Same
While the design has changed, our mission continues:
-
Supporting refugees and migrants in their integration journey
-
Empowering communities and volunteers
-
Promoting inclusion, diversity, and intercultural understanding
We invite you to browse the updated pages, learn about our work, and find ways to get involved. Your feedback is welcome — the site will continue to evolve with the needs of our community.
We hope to make our work more visible and show the impact we make.
