Ways of communication
In the 21st century, the ways of communication have acquired a completely different form than what we knew. Technology evolves rapidly. We have entered a new age of information, which sometimes makes our life easier and others has the exactly opposite results. The information in which each of us has now access favor objective knowledge, multi-faceted research, pluralism and dialogue. Having ever-yielding sources of information and data now, we are trying to utilize them in the best possible manner. Of course, not everyone can cope with the speed in which technology is evolving in our times.
Katheti is trying to follow this technological development, thus we consider important to present you our ways of communication. With this article, we would like to explain to you when, why and where you may learn our news.
Newsletter
A simple way to stay updated is our monthly newsletter, which we send by email every end of the month. With this, we inform Katheti’s friends about the coming month’s activities and about local cultural news. You can subscribe by filling in an electronic application or by dropping by our Galatas space.
Social Media
Social Media are now an integral part of most people’s daily life, irrespective of age. Their use varies, but the main rule is that they function as means for networking and exchange of ideas. Katheti uses two of the most prominent social media in order to keep our internet friends constantly updated:
- Facebook: On a daily basis, we post Katheti’s news, as well as local cultural news, which we share.
- Instagram: In the time of visual culture and speedy information in which we live, we couldn’t stay away from Instagram. By following as on Instagram, you may learn our news through our stories and posts, three times a week.

Website
The source that we constantly feed with news, people, ideas and activities is our website. We publish articles and events and is always available for your timely update both in Greek and in English. It is constantly refreshed and it is the source from which we update all the aforementioned ways of communication.
