About the event

What does it really mean to belong? This webinar invites you to explore how tolerance, inclusion, and diversity shape our daily lives and relationships. Together, we’ll look at how embracing different backgrounds, beliefs, and sexualities can help us build communities where everyone feels valued and safe to be themselves.

We’ll talk about why acceptance matters, how bias and fear can get in the way, and what we can do — as individuals and as a college community — to create spaces of genuine connection and belonging.

Join us as we discover how understanding and celebrating difference can bring us closer together!

About the event

In 2025, Greece commemorates the centenary of the illustrious composer Mikis Theodorakis, a pivotal figure in the country’s post-war cultural history, as highlighted by the Culture Ministry’s dedication of the year to him. The Frances Rich School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences of the American College of Greece will host a Homage Concert honoring his legacy.  The concert will showcase a blend of distinguished professional musicians and longtime collaborators of Theodorakis alongside talented young performers from the Deree Music Program. The renowned singer Kostas Triantafyllidis will lead the performance, accompanied by pianist Tatiana Papageorgiou and bouzouki soloists Thanassis Vassilas and Yannis Matsoukas—all three close artistic associates of Theodorakis. The program will feature a selection of Theodorakis’ renowned songs and film scores, demonstrating the global  resonance of his work, with his melodies have been sung in dozens of languages worldwide by artists such as the Beatles, Edith Piaf, Shirley Bassey, Albano, Milva, Livaneli, Arja Saijonma and Joan Baez.  The evening will be a moving celebration of Theodorakis’s universal messages of freedom, peace and solidarity through music.

The concert is open to the public with free admission.

About the event

Behind every statistic on student suicidality is a story that deserves to be understood. In this webinar, we’ll unpack the complexity of suicidal thoughts and behaviors — from passive vs. active ideation to the distinction between ideation and attempts. We’ll examine how academic, financial, and socio-economic pressures affect young adults, and how suicide reverberates through families and campus communities.

Participants will gain tools for recognizing early signs, applying Psychological First Aid (PFA), and accessing key support resources.

Join us as we replace silence with understanding and stigma with compassion!

About the event

What does it mean to teach and learn in the “uncomfort zone”, those spaces of uncertainty, constraint, and rapid change that define online education today? This talk invites learning designers, graduate students and faculty from all disciplines to explore how such spaces can unlock new forms of creativity, connection, and co-learning.

Drawing on the personal creativity manifesto (Nerantzi, 2019) and key contributions from Craft (2008), Jackson (1996), hooks (1994), and others, we will examine how imagination and inventiveness help us make sense of our teaching experiences and shape our face-to-face, and online practices. We will look at how creativity can flourish within constraints, supporting educators’ motivation to design stimulating, open, and collaborative learning experiences (Nerantzi & Thomas, 2019; Atenas et al., 2025). Central to this are vulnerability and trust, which lay the foundations for meaningful relationships and vibrant learning communities (Brantmeier, 2013; Armellini et al., 2021).

We will discuss practical strategies and design prompts to foster creative engagement, build inclusive learning communities, and embrace uncertainty “at the edge of chaos” (Kleiman, 2011). We will also consider what the arrival of AI means for today’s education: how public AI and open practices can amplify learning (UNESCO, 2024) and how creativity may increasingly become a shared space between humans and machines (Celis Bueno et al., 2025; Mateson, 2025).

This event is open to educators and researchers across disciplines.
