The Social Club Community is happy to announce a collaboration with The BC Book Club.
Join our Social Book Club
Meet like-minded people, enjoy the conversation over wine, and read together! Furthermore, we will read for a good cause as 60% profits will be donated to The Pomegranate Project, run by Action for Women, a women’s rights organisation supporting refugee and asylum-seeking women.
BC book club community in Athens has been reading together since 2018. At BC, we believe in the transformative power of fiction to expand our hearts and minds and to help us build bridges to embrace more of humanity.
