Front exterior of Sivitanideios School of Arts and Crafts in 2014
Sivitanideios School of Arts and Crafts is a public school in Athens, Greece. It is run jointly by the Ministry of Education (Greece) and the Greek Ministry of Labour's Manpower Employment Organisation of Greece (OAED).[1]
The school first opened in 1926, and works on the building began after 1921, with money donated to the Greek state by Vassilis Sivitanidis, a Greek Cypriot merchant living in Alexandria, Egypt.[2] It was meant to be a school comparable to France's École nationale supérieure d'arts et métiers (today called Arts et Métiers ParisTech), as its benefactor, Mr Sivitanidis, had stated in his will.[3]
