THE GREEK REVOLUTION OF 1821 AND ITS BALKAN DIMENSIONS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Thessaloniki, 22, 23, 24 October 2021
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Institute for Balkan Studies is organizing an international conference on the Greek Revolution of 1821 and its Balkan dimensions. The conference will take place online on 22, 23 and 24 October 2021. The languages of the conference are Greek and English.
The Greek Revolution of 1821 was an event whose impact far exceeded the borders of the Greek peninsula. It significantly influenced both the other Balkan peoples and the European political and diplomatic reality. The establishment of the first independent Greek Kingdom in 1830 was the first de facto territorial secession of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans. The Greek example was soon followed by the other Balkan peoples, introducing the Balkan Peninsula in the era of Modernity.
The purpose of the conference is to explore the revolutionary paths that connected the Greek Revolution with the other Balkan peoples. To focus on the participation of the other Balkan peoples in the Greek Revolution and to highlight the effects that it had within the Balkan societies at all levels.
Axes of the Conference are:
-Rigas Velestinlis and the Balkan radicalism
-The network of the ‘Filiki Etaireia’ (Society of Friends) in the Balkans
-The movement of Alexandros Ypsilantis and its Balkan components
-Balkan fighters of the Greek Revolution
-Impressions of the Greek Revolution in Balkan literature and art
-Perceptions of the Greek Revolution in Balkan historiography

50th Summer School for Greek Language,
History and Culture (23 July - 20 August 2023)
The Summer School for Greek Language, History and Culture began in Thessaloniki in 1964. In 1973 and 1985 it was reorganized into a truly international institution, welcoming students from all over the world.
The Summer School prides itself on offering the most high-quality and efficient courses in Greek language and culture, thus contributing to the promotion of Greek language and culture at an international level. The majority of non-Greeks current employed in universities all over the world to undertake research and teach Modern Greek have at one time passed through the Summer School for Greek Language, History and Culture.
The Summer School takes place in August and offers an intensive Programme. Participants (foreign students, researchers in Modern Greek and related subjects, teachers and diplomats) have the opportunity to obtain a better understanding of Greek society and immerse themselves for a month in the language and cultural traditions.
In recognition of the goals and achievements of the Programme, throughout the years the Ministry of Culture and Sports has very generously and successfully supported the Institute for Balkan Studies, offering significant numbers of scholarships to foreign students, thus enabling them to participate in the Programme. These scholarships form one of the Greek state’s most important investments in culture.
The 50th Summer School for Greek Language, History and Culture will take place in Thessaloniki from July 23 to August 20, 2023.
In this address you can find the application form that you have to send until 30 April 2023 with all the others needed documents http://www.imxa.gr/summerschool/school2_gr.htm .
