FREE Screening & Discussion: Live the Greek Way 2025-12-14

What is Greek life? There is so much to explore about Greece: ancient civilizations, philosophy, art, and mythology, as well as enduring traditions, music, and a vibrant Mediterranean way of life.

To start with, this event will focus on modern Greek culture and spirit - movie selections from lively dancing and heartfelt family traditions to sun-soaked island adventures.
