In 2018, the Municipality of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with organizations such as Q-PLAN International, the National Center for Research and Technological Development, and the University of Macedonia, launched an ambitious idea: to create an open, collaborative space for creation, knowledge, and innovation. This is how SKG Makers was born, which since 2021 has been operating as a multi-purpose space for those who love to create, experiment, and share. With accessibility and social environmental innovation as its main goals, the space has become a "home" for creators, makers, and people with ideas who see recycling, reuse, and design differently.
From September 2025, SKG Makers is entering a new era! The environmental NGO Greek Eco Project is taking over the management of the space, bringing new life into it together with new ideas, experience, and passion for the environment. Based on the principles of circular economy, SKG Makers by Greek Eco Project will enrich the space with experiential educational programs, workshops, and activities that aim to change mindsets and inspire.
The space is now becoming a hub for creativity and sustainable action. From school seminars to experiential workshops for all ages, we want to instill the idea of reuse, environmental awareness, and creativity in everyone. And of course, our doors are open: anyone who wants to can come, bring a “useless” object, and give it a second life with the help of tools, machines, knowledge, and support from the community.
Greek Eco Project is an environmental association, founded in 2020 by a group of people who love nature and want to protect it – simply, effectively, and collectively. Based in Thessaloniki, we constantly organize activities throughout Greece: coastal and underwater cleanups, tree planting, park maintenance, ecological workshops, and more. Our mission is clear: to mobilize people and give nature back the place it deserves in our lives.
Come and join us in building, reusing, inspiring, and creating a more sustainable future together.
