Who will be teaching it?
Panagiota has been in Melbourne for less than a year and hasn’t been in touch yet with the infamous Greek Community. Instead, she would rather meet Melbournians who are interested in exploring the rich and vibrant Greek culture, from poetry to philosophy and politics, music and dancing and of course… cooking! She studied English Literature at the University of Athens, has travelled the world, and since she relocated to Australia she is rediscovering what it means to be Greek and European.
