[Swprograms] Hellenes Around the World Feb 3

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** GREECE. This Saturday, February 3rd, 2007, the English speaking program
"Hellenes Around the World" continues its voyage to the Hellenic and the
Philhellenic corners of the World. 

Andrew Acherman - "Gods, Myths and Mortals-Discovering Ancient Greece" 
Imagine if you could turn back time and find yourself flying over the Mountain
Olympus overlooking the ancient Greek Gods arguing about the fate of humanity,
or having a conversation with Aristotle the great Greek Philosopher. 

Children between ages of 6 and 10, with the help of technology and their
imagination will have the chance to discover Greece, interpret its glorious
past and appreciate its contributions to our world, through a rather unique
initiative taken by the Children's Museum of Manhattan, an exhibition entitled:
"Gods, Myths and Mortals-Discovering Ancient Greece". 

>From heart of New York City, "Hellenes Around the World", host the Executive
Director of the Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOM), Mr. Andrew Ackerman, who
talks about the exhibition. 

The Greek-american academic community joins forces to catalogue the history of
the Greek Diaspora 

The Modern Greek Studies Association, the non-profit organization dedicated to
the promotion of modern Greek studies in the United States and Canada,
introduces the "MGSA Greek-American Initiative". 
What exactly is this project? George Anagnostou, Assistant Professor in the
Department of Greek and Latin in Ohio State University, tells us all about it. 

"The Journey : The Greek American Dream" 

The story of the first Greek emigrants to America, their hopes and dreams, the
hardship but also the successful stories of those who made it, are presented in
the film entitled : "The Journey: The Greek American Dream", directed by Maria
Iliou. 

Mrs Iliou with the help of historian Alexander Kitroeff, professor of History
at Hartford College in Pennsylvania, managed to put together this fascinating
documentary, which is also supported by a photo exhibition that was inaugurated
recently in the Benaki Museum in Athens. The director of the film shares her
thoughts in our radio show. 

The program airs live this Saturday 4-5 pm, Greek time. The hostess is Katerina
Thanasoula.
