Iraklis Lampadariou was born in Katerini in 1988, but grew up in Kavala. He has been dealing faithfully with volunteering, both organising and participating in various collective actions, since the age of 10. He has studied classic literature in the Democritus University of Thrace (2005-2009). He loves learning foreign languages; he already speaks English, French, Spanish and he has started learning Slovak and Chinese. He has travelled in many places in Europe, involving himself in a multicultural dialogue that has certainly affected his way of thinking. He writes stories for the child each one of us hides inside them and constantly tries to figure out ways in which schools could cultivate students’ creativity and imagination. In August 2012 he created Saita publications, a digital, non-commercial space from which books are distributed for free. He’s the author of “Creative class with enough imagination”, “The magic bookmark” and “Greetings and wishes”.
