Furthermore, Barack Obama will be participating in the SNF Nostos Conference, organised by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, during his stay in Greece. This prestigious event, scheduled from June 21 to 23, aims to foster discussions on strengthening democracy in civic culture.

Obama has been announced as one of the distinguished speakers, and he will join SNF President Andreas Drakopoulos in sharing insights and ideas.

It is worth noting that this visit to the SNF Cultural Center will mark Barack Obama’s second time attending the conference, having previously graced it in 2016. During his last international visit while still in office, Obama delivered a moving speech, leaving a lasting impression on attendees.
