The individual programs will start in July and will be completed by October 2023.

Some of the summer programs for Greek diaspora in Australia are:

  • Program for 45 young people, aged 18-25, from the Greek diaspora of Australia in Thessaloniki and in the wider area of Central and Eastern Macedonia – Thrace from July 1 to 11, 2023.
