Inaugural forum to discuss ‘Metapolitefsi’ and its impact on Greek Australians

·

Greeks, Australians and those anywhere in-between are invited to explore the definition, the limits, the impact and the influence of Metapolitefsi on Greek Australian community relations over the past five decades.

This inaugural forum, to be held at the Democritus Cultural Centre in Northcote this Saturday, November 23, marks the beginning of a regular series of public discussions examining issues vital to Australians of Greek and migrant heritage.

Guest speakers include journalist Kostas Karamarkos, theatre director Thanasis Makrigiorgos, Cypriot affairs analyst Dr Michális S. Michael, and academic Dr George Vassilacopoulos.

The panel will provide their perspective on the historical significance of Metapolitefsi, its ongoing relevance to contemporary Greece, and its role in shaping the Greek Australian community since 1974.

But this is just to get the ball rolling. The aim is to create a forum for public discussion, with specific themes, primarily addressing issues of importance to Australians of Greek and migrant heritage.
