My name is Charis Stavrakaki, and I am a student in the Department of Business Administration at the Athens University of Economics and Business. Organizing and coordinating initiatives has always been a passion of mine, something that is reflected both in my academic studies and in the activities I choose to pursue.

I first learned about Get Involved through professors at my university, and in August 2026, I joined the team as an Associate in the Communications Department.

What motivated me to become part of Get Involved was my passion for organizing conferences and my desire to actively engage with the topics and issues at the heart of its work. I strongly believe in the value of financial literacy and in the importance of providing young people with opportunities to gain meaningful, hands-on experience through the planning and coordination of initiatives beyond the academic environment.

I hope to contribute my energy and organizational skills to the team, while collaborating with people who share the same passion for turning ideas into action.

I’m a Law student and since May 2025, I’ve been part of the Communications team at Get Involved. I’ve always been an outgoing person who enjoys working with others, so I immediately felt that this role suits me well. I’m really interested in sustainability, mainly because I feel like we’re the first generation truly experiencing the consequences of the environmental crisis. I believe that each of us can contribute to something better, in our own way. Through this team, I hope to learn, grow, and collaborate with people who share the same concerns and vision. I also hope to bring my own perspective and energy to everything we do.
