Our university recently hosted a visit by Mr. George Papandreou, former prime minister of Greece (between 2009 and 2011):
When he arrived on campus, our school quickly immersed him in activities, including Tai Chi:
He was given ceremonial fish (for good luck) which we ate for lunch:
It was interesting to chat with him throughout the day:
discussing some of the challenges of education in our world saturated with information and shaped by modern technology:
His challenge to our students in this “information age”: examine the facts, seek the truth, and align your actions with overarching meaning and values.
Sounds like a good challenge! Love that they had the fish in a big bag and then ate them 😂 so random!
Impressive visitor for this university…!
