The ‘Women and Hellenism’ Conference centres on three main themes: Hellenism, Identity, and Sustainability. These themes structure the presentations of the speakers. The conference explores lessons from the past and present to inform future planning.
During the conference, speakers from the diaspora and Greece will develop their own stories and perspectives on the theme of Hellenism. There will be two masters of ceremony to facilitate the program: The popular Greek Australian journalist Helen Kapalos, and Maria Dimopoulos AM, a highly respected lawyer and well-known human rights advocate.
