CHS Greece 2026–2027 Workshop Series

Workshop series flyer (2026-2027) by the Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece, Harvard University. Lists six workshops with dates and cities (Nafplio and Athens), topics on human rights, ancient coins, philosophy, science, physiognomy, sport, and names of speakers. Includes a QR code and logo at the top. All text is in Greek.

We are pleased to announce this year's series of workshops, open to all and offered free of charge. The six workshops range from the Constitution and human rights to ancient coins, philosophy and science, physiognomy, and the origins of sport, each asking how ideas from the past continue to shape the present.

The series begins in November 2026 in Nafplio. The call for expressions of interest for the first workshop will be published in the coming days.
