Events and Activities

CHS GR always seeks to support its mission; the promotion of the Greek civilization and paideia. Since the inauguration of its official operation in 2008, CHS has developed and continues to establish such collaborations, many of which have now become long-term joint events, constantly evolving through the years. Within this context, multiple events have been developed in cooperation with institutions from Greece and abroad that focus on intercultural exchanges and the development of an ongoing dialogue among researchers of Hellenic studies and different academic disciplines alike.

Events Series The Events Series 2020 focuses on the topic of “Eutopia, Dystopia, Utopia: Environmental aesthetics and politics”. On this topic, we seek to raise and discuss the following issues: the natural and built environment, as an experience and as a source of inspiration and imagination; political, philosophical and anthropological approaches of the environment in different historical periods; scientific, theological and ethical aspects of climate change.
