Consul General of Greece in Adelaide visits Darwin delivering annual Aristotle Oration

·

Dr Alexandra Theodoropoulou, the Consul General of Greece in Adelaide, visited Darwin last week, where she was warmly welcomed at Charles Darwin University (CDU) by university and community leaders, including Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman, Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Ruth Wallace, and Associate Professor George Frazis, Coordinator of Greek and Hellenic Studies at CDU.

During her visit, Dr Theodoropoulou delivered the Annual Aristotle Oration, titled “First Greeks, First Nations: A Sacred Bond with Nature.”

In her speech, she discussed the universal principles of Hellenic civilisation, drawing insightful parallels between the philosophies of Ancient Greece and the Indigenous Australian spiritual connection to nature.

Additionally, Dr Theodoropoulou presented Certificates of Attainment in Greek Language to four students for their achievements in Hellenic Studies:

  • Irene Koulianos (Level A1)
  • Artemios Skandaliaris (Level B1)
  • Evdokia Louloudia (Level B1)
  • Matthew Giakoumatos (Level B1)

While in Darwin, Dr Theodoropoulou also met with representatives from local Greek associations, clubs, and churches, including St Nicholas and St Savvas of Kalymnos.

She engaged with students, teachers, and the broader Greek community to learn more about their character, needs, and contributions.
