Ambassador of Greece to the US and Consul General of Greece in Boston Guest Lecture in Modern Greek Course
Our Modern Greek Program participated for the second consecutive year in BU Global Programs’ International Education Week.
On October 30, 2020 Her Excellence the Ambassador of Greece to the United States Mrs. Alexandra Papadopoulou and the Consul General of Greece in Boston Mr. Efstratios Efthymiou were guests of honor in the course CG350 “Narratives of Resistance from Greece: From the War of Independence to the Resilience Against COVID-19,” taught by Dr. Vassiliki Rapti.
This was part of the course’s educational effort to build bridges of civic engagement. Likewise, the students of CG350 were encouraged to be actively engaged in initiatives that begin in the classroom and expand to larger global initiatives. For example, they are working on a collective project about climate change that will be part of the festivities for the Bicentennial of the Greek War of Independence.
