PCT: Art Workshop at the Chatzikyriakio Foundation on the Occasion of Chinese Language Day

PCT (Piraeus Container Terminal S.A.), a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Ports Ltd., organized an art workshop at the Chatzikyriakio Foundation on the occasion of Chinese Language Day, which has been established since 2010 as one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
The Chatzikyriakio Foundation, with a 120-year history in child care, welcomed PCT with great joy and pride to its recently renovated building. As part of the activity, the girls of the Foundation, together with PCT employees and under the guidance of the art workshop “Chroma,” designed Chinese ideograms with positive meanings such as peace, love, friendship, and freedom. They then transferred their creations onto fabric tote bags, which they kept as a souvenir of this special day.
For several years, PCT has consistently supported the mission of the Chatzikyriakio Foundation by covering the tuition fees for foreign language learning for the girls. This initiative is part of the company’s broader corporate responsibility program, which includes actions and partnerships with institutions and associations, with a strong focus on education. In this context, PCT has invested more than €250,000 over time, strengthening educational opportunities for the younger generation in the wider Piraeus area.
Nina Argyropoulou, Deputy Manager PR & Sustainability of PCT S.A., stated:
“Knowledge is the most powerful asset we can offer children. For PCT, investing in education is a key pillar of our corporate responsibility. Through initiatives like today’s, we aim to introduce children to a different culture with a long history, such as the Chinese culture, and help broaden their horizons. Our collaboration with the Chatzikyriakio Foundation is a relationship of substance and consistency, reflecting our commitment to supporting the girls it hosts as well as its overall mission.”
