Our inaugural CYA Student Conference themed “Greece and Beyond: Notions of Identity in the Greek World,” took place on May 3 and 4 at the CYA Academic Centre.  The conference explored the essence of what it means to be Greek, and why people need to identify themselves as Greek.

From Meteora, Greece!

My first trip out of Athens was to Meteora, a small town 200 miles north from my new home on the mainland of Greece. Two fellow CYA-ers and I took a 6 hour train ride at midnight on a Thursday and reached our end destination in Kalabaka bright and early 6am on Friday!

A few weeks ago, several CYA students had the opportunity to travel to Delphi and participate in the 2nd annual Delphi Economic Forum. This year’s theme was: Outlook for Greece and the Region vision 2020- 2030.
