Innovative program by the region of Attica for diaspora students and Greek-speaking students abroad

The program, launched last year on the initiative of Mr. Hardalias, gives students from Greek schools and Greek-speaking university programs abroad the opportunity to experience firsthand the culture, history, and traditions of Greece, with a focus on the Attica region. We want the children of the Greek Diaspora to learn about everything that is part of our history and identity and to understand the special significance of Greek heritage. Expansion and Future GoalsThis is the second time that students from Melbourne have participated in the program. Last May, Regional Governor Nikos Hardalias welcomed students from the Greek Studies Department of Shanghai University in Athens. The strategic goal is for the program to become an established institution and expand to include other diaspora schools and Greek-speaking universities worldwide.
