This initiative involves the renovation, maintenance and expansion of the Jewish Kindergarten and Primary School run by the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki (JCT). The school aims to be a centre of excellence, with the latest technology and equipment, and will be open to all children regardless of religion and country of origin.

In 2021, the school was named after the founder of the Bolton Group. Joseph Nissim was born in Thessaloniki but moved to Italy in 1948 where he began a long and successful business career. He lived until the age of 100 and worked with passion, ingenuity, curiosity and courage until the very end of his life.
