Pharos Alliance meets with the Honourable Jenny Mikakos

·

On the occasion of International Greek Language Day, members of Pharos Alliance recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jenny Mikakos, a Member of Victorian Parliament between 1999 and 2020. 

Ms Mikakos, a supporter of Pharos since its launch in 2021, was happy to hear of the Alliance’s advancements in promoting and maintaining Greek in the state of Victoria.

During her tenure as a Minister and as an MP for the Victorian government, Ms Mikakos was instrumental in ensuring the maintenance of many Greek language programs in the public education system. She was also responsible for introducing languages as part of the Early Years curriculum.

It is Pharos’ intention to continue advocating for the Greek language and seeking support from interested individuals, stakeholders, as well as by meeting with members of government and other Victorian parliamentarians.
