• Coordinate the provision of services by our members to groups, individuals, clubs, federations as well as any other legal or natural person related to HMGA.

The HMGA:

• Is a Pan-Hellenic primary professional organization and therefore can participate as an active member in federations, associations and any other entity in Greece and abroad, with the same or similar goals;
• Holds events with cultural, educational, training, scientific and entertainment content, in the form of gatherings, performances, conferences, tours, ascents, training schools, seminars etc;
