Kavala holds the 21st Pan Hellenic Lyceum Conference

·

The 21st Pan Hellenic Lyceum Conference took place in Kavala from September 26 to 29, bringing together approximately 60 Lyceum organisations from Greece and abroad. Among the attendees, a delegation of nine women represented Sydney, highlighting the global reach of the event.

This year’s theme, “Women and the Hellenic Lyceum: Reflection, Redefinition, and New Challenges,” explored the pivotal role of women as the cornerstone of tradition, social change, and solidarity in the 21st century. The discussions were led by captivating speakers who kept delegates engaged well into the night, presenting thought-provoking topics and compelling arguments that resonated with many.

The program included a musical performance that depicted women in dual roles: as sources of happiness, love, and optimism, while also addressing the darker themes of violence and sacrifice. This artistic expression added depth to the conference, fostering an emotional connection among the participants.

The conference concluded with a spectacular musical theatrical performance set against the backdrop of the historic fortress of Kavala, which towers over the city, creating a fittingly grand finale to the event.

Looking ahead, the next Pan Hellenic Lyceum Conference is scheduled to take place in 2026 in Ioannina, promising to continue the vital discussions surrounding women’s roles in Hellenic culture.
