The Athens Centre

lvement. The classes in Modern Greek are enhanced with Greek dances during class breaks, culinary events, gallery walks through central Athens, impromptu musical breaks, and interaction with participants from other programs in the courtyard of the Centre. There is always free tea and coffee and a bronze baby rhino. The language instructors have unique communication skills which stimulate learning through games, theatre techniques and class participation.People of all ages and nationalities attend these classes and contribute food, their cultural background and sometimes bring musical instruments to play in the courtyard. The university programs, most of them in the classics and Greek studies, use the Centre as a base and travel to sites all over Greece. The Centre organizes every detail of these programs; classes, field trips, events, housing. The most important elements of the Centre are the people who come to classes and participate in programs and attend cultural events. We at the Centre strive to make this relationship an inspiring experience.
