After three flights and 24 hours of travel, I arrived in Athens in early May. I had been wanting to be an intern at the CIG for years (since before covid) so I was very excited to finally arrive in Greece. As a student of archaeology and classics, I was ready to dive headlong into history.

My name is Ioannis Dedes. I am a second-year undergraduate student at McGill, majoring in Political Science and History, and I plan to continue my studies in ancient political philosophy and theory.

We are delighted to announce that the Canadian Institute successfully hosted its first-ever Summer School in Greece this year. This was made possible by the additional space and facilities provided by the Institute’s new premises.

The CIG Summer School of 2022 was a unique opportunity for Canadian undergraduate students, and it is planned that summer schools will take place every summer from now on.
