Mareschal consisted of 160 messages written by children in the Chora Elementary school placed along the length of the riverside wall, and held the title "Complaints Office". The day of the opening the messages were read with great emotion by residents, visitors and artists , who discovered the children's worries about the future of the country.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Artists Epitopou  2014</strong> :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Eva T.
