Global Learning Across Borders
Greece Revealed: Beyond the Beach, Behind the Ruins
|
Beginning in Athens and concluding in Istanbul, this experiential education program will allow for cultural immersion opportunities in relatively untrammeled regions of both the Greek mainland and islands. As with all Global LAB semesters, our survey of the culture will be broad, engaging, and multi-faceted: home-stays with warm and welcoming Greek families; basic Greek language instruction; cultural discussions on topics including Greek Orthodoxy, Byzantine history, Classical Greece, the arts, contemporary gender issues, and state relations with Turkey and the Balkans; service activities ranging from planting trees near Olympia to volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitator on the isle of Aegina; independent study projects (ISPs) which could explore diverse topics such as Greek cooking, ancient and contemporary music, philosophy, shepherding, mythology, local folklore, spiritual traditions, pottery, painting, ship-building, or archaeological preservation; and select excursions to locales both grand and subtle—from a circuit of the spectacularly perched monasteries of Meteora and a trek around and atop fabled Mt. Olympus, to encountering little-trafficked nooks on the isles of Chios and Samos—calibrating the daily native rhythms—and sharing a coffee and conversation with a village elder at the local kafeneion (café).
