Last summer, the HHF sponsored five students to explore their Hellenic heritage and reconnect with their culture through an amazing opportunity called “Heritage Greece”. This year was the first time this program was made available to Greek Canadian students through a significant investment and sponsorship by the Hellenic Heritage Foundation which we plan to continue in 2020.

Applications for the 2020 Heritage Greece Program, taking place this June & July in Greece, are now open.

The Heritage Greece Program is a two-week long educational and cultural immersion program taking place at the American College of Greece, where five participants are sponsored by the Hellenic Heritage Foundation and generously supported by the National Hellenic Society (NHS) (tuition, meals, and local transportation within Greece) to:

• Gain first-hand experience of Hellenic heritage, traditions, and culture
• Enroll in an experiential customized one-credit language and culture course
