Some positive news has come out of Macquarie University regarding the Modern Greek Studies Program as it was confirmed that it will run as normal, meaning enrolments will be accepted for 2024.
Participants from Australia and Greece shared first-hand accounts of Greek language learning and benefits experienced, in an online conversation co-organised by the Macquarie University Greek Studies Program and the University’s Greek Association (MUGA).
Titled ‘Pathway stories in careers through Greek language’ the event was held last week ahead of the International Greek Language Day commemorated annually on 9 February.
Both current students and graduates joined in the event, featuring an extensive list of guest speakers, including the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs Secretary General John Chrysoulakis, the Consul General of Greece in Sydney Christos Karras and THI Australia’s representative George Giovas.
