She Tells is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organisation based in Larissa, Greece, founded in 2024. Our mission is to promote gender equality, youth empowerment, and migrant inclusion through education, storytelling, and advocacy. We believe in the transformative power of knowledge, connection, and care, and design initiatives that combine professional development, intercultural dialogue, and rights awareness.

Mission and Objectives

Our aim is to empower youth—especially women and individuals from underrepresented groups—by equipping them with the skills, networks, and confidence to thrive. We focus on:

Gender Equality: Combating stereotypes and promoting women’s leadership.

Education & Career Development: Providing tools and exposure to innovation, business, and technology.

Migrant & Refugee Inclusion: Addressing barriers to education and labour market access.

Holistic Empowerment: Integrating mental well-being, self-confidence, and resilience.

International Cooperation: Building bridges across Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean.

Fields of Action

Education & Empowerment: Career workshops, mentoring, educational trips to hubs like NYC and San Francisco.

Storytelling & Visibility: Use of film, podcasts, and photography to amplify underrepresented voices.

Migration & Inclusion: Transnational projects on refugee education access and integration.

Gender & Rights: Equality-focused campaigns and community programmes.

Sustainability & Well-being: Embedding resilience and green skills in youth projects.
