Katheti

Katheti* is a non for profit NGO for the promotional of sustainable development through culture and education. Its seat is on Poros and its activities take place in the broader area of Municipalities of Poros and Troizinia-Methana. However, it has a network of collaborators and friends throughout Greece and abroad. In its venue on Poros island, Greece, 100 Douzina st., as well as in other venues of the area, it organises educational activities and cultural events, aiming firstly at children and youth, as well as the public in general. Since 2023, Katheti's main focus has shifted to the environment, and in particular fighting the development of industrial fish farms at Poros island. *katheti [kaθetí] is a fishing equipment that consists of a fine fishing line, with a weight and one or more hooks on the one end, which is wrapped around a rectangular piece of cork on the other end. The symbolism of fishing is very important for Katheti, as expressed in the following Chinese proverb: “Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day; teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.”
