An inspiring night of Greek culture and language at Charles Darwin University

·

The Greek Orthodox Community of Northern Australia hosted an “Evening of Poetry and Certificate of Greek Language Awards” at Charles Darwin University (CDU), bringing together students, families and community members for a celebration of Greek language and culture.

The event featured traditional dances, poetry recitations and the presentation of Greek language certificates to eight young students, who were praised for making the community proud.

Organisers described it as “an inspiring evening dedicated to the Greek language, poetry, and culture.”

The Community thanked CDU for its hospitality, parents for their support, and the students themselves – “the future guardians of the Greek language” – for their dedication.

With continued backing from the Greek Orthodox Community of Northern Australia, the local Greek school, and the “tireless and creative contribution of Professor George Frazis,” the organisation says it remains committed to advancing Greek learning “in our faraway homeland.”
