The KINONOS Project: Conscious Citizens for Change
Abstract
In the Fall of 2017, while a rising high school junior, the author founded a school club at the American Community Schools of Athens named ΚΟΙΝΩΝΟΣ (pronounced Kinonos), derived from the Greek word “Κοινωνία” which means “Community.” ΚΟΙΝΩΝΟΣ refers to the community of people that come together for a common cause. It connotes the importance of participation in community affairs that as citizens we must all participate in community affairs in order to improve social conditions, problem solve, and better plan so as to have a healthy, thriving community. On a larger scale, ΚΟΙΝΩΝΟΣ denotes that we are all members of a community, and while we have many differences we also have commonalities, the main commonality being that we are all human beings regardless of socio-economic status, gender, opportunity, or education. Revering this simple fact is a necessary mindset in order to develop the highest form of social interest and become conscious citizens who ‘see' society's plaguing issues and address them.
