The second time around, it was love at first sight! by Christina Katsantoni

Do you know? Of course you do. You know how it's like when you have a really good idea in your hands? That amazing feeling that you have found something unquestionably, beyond any doubt and second thoughts, simply... fantastic? Well, multiply this feeling with the joy you experience when the feelings are mutual. 

Because that was exactly what happened on Saturday, February the 26th in the second workshop of the Powerful Voices. It was a day full with love. Love for music, books, communities, children, arts, business, charity, politics, culture and youth. And most of all, love for creativity. An unstoppable flow of creativity that was expressed through collaboration, no competition. Through experimenting, no holding back. 

Ten young people combined their experiences, knowledge, backgrounds and favorite things in order to approach and benefit communities both locally and globally. Their aim? To pop-out reading everywhere, to shake the hands of at least six worthy people, to pick gigs they like, to increase giving and volunteering and to fill in the gaps. By using the current social media and networks' power, five powerful ideas will soon be alive and kicking. Some of them may become the talk of the "online" town in the near future. And some of them may become the inspiration for something else. Something bigger than us. 

But for now we have to wait for our love to grow. And this is the best part of the process.
