On behalf of the Panmessinian Federation of USA and Canada, we are excited to announce the hosting - for the seventeenth year - of the 2025 Greek Summer School on Greek Language and Culture for Youth of Hellenic Descent (18 to 24 years old) and Greek Teachers in Kalamata - a vibrant educational and cultural program designed in collaboration with the University of Peloponnese and supported by the Federal Government, the Local Governments, the Mitropolis of Messinia, to connect our youth with the Greek language, history, and traditions in an engaging and inspiring environment.
This four-week program:
(July 10 - August 5)  includes: greek language, history and culture lessons at three levels (complete beginner, intermediate, and advanced), educational visits to Ancient Olympia, Mycenae, the Palace of Nestor, Ancient Messini, the Archaeological Museum of the Acropolis, Mani, the museums of Kalamata (Military, Cultural and Archaeological), Mount Taygetos, the Church of Ypapandi, the picturesque towns of Pylos, Kyparissia, Finikounda, Koroni, Methoni and elsewhere. Its importance and urgency has been beautifully captured in a series of praiseful news stories dedicated to the school and published in nation-wide (Kathimerini, Proto Thema) as well as local news-media (Tharros News, Best TV).
