Thirty Greek Diaspora teachers coming from Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Mozambique and Uruguay participated in the seminar for Training Greek Diaspora Teachers, organized by the University of Crete.
The program is funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Education, implemented by the Center for Intercultural and Immigration Studies (E.DIA.M.ME.), Department of Primary Education, University of Crete.
Thirty educators – representatives from schools and Greek language departments, which will be launched in the coming school year as pilot e-Learning Schools, took part in these activities.
Particular attention was paid to “e-Learning in the Greek Diaspora” and the establishment of a School Network for e-Learning.
The teachers’ stories gave some nice insight into the guests’ motivations to teach, like Greek Ioanna (Jona), a Greek migrant who teaches Greek in a small town outside Melbourne. Her love for Greece and qualifications made her become a Greek-language teacher.
People like Ioanna contribute to the harmonic coexistence of different social and national groups as well as to the preservation of ties between Greece and Australia.
