On November 26 - December 1 2023, the 8th European Students' Conference was held in Rome with the title: "Athens-Rome: A Long Journey (509 BC - Today). History, Culture, Social and Political Institutions, Democracy".

The aim of the Conference was to highlight the influence of Greek civilization on Roman civilization and, by extension, on the shaping of European civilization.

The group of students who participated in it under the guidance of professors An. Gialeli and M. Konstantinou presented their work on the topic "Ancient Greek theater and democracy". Students, initially, conducted extensive research on the role of Ancient Greek theater in the promotion of democracy, then studied works of the great tragic poets, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, selected passages on the subject, which they interpreted in their presentation.

The above Conference gave our students the opportunity to come in contact with students from other schools and exchange their experiences on the topics they chose to present and highlight. The students acquired skills such as presenting a research project to a wide audience, research and collaboration, delving into the timeless principles and values that shaped ancient Greek and Roman culture.

Congratulations to all the students of our delegation on their excellent attendance at the Conference.
