The Greek Language Academy

All about Alexandros Boukouvalas: the Greek teacher who supports expats in Greece!

Alexandros Boukouvalas, a teacher from Larissa (Greece), is the founder of TheGreek Language Academy: one of the largest online communities for Greek learners, boasting over 100,000 followers across social platforms (@greek.language.academy). With a clear mission to share a global passion for the Greek language, this dynamic teacher is capturing hearts and headlines around the world.

ABOUT ALEX

Let’s rewind to where it all started. A decade ago, Alexandros set out to share his language, culture, and lifestyle with the world. Driven by the belief that learning new languages and embracing diverse cultures enriches lives, he began introducing English speakers to the wonders of Greece and the Greek language. In 2022, he launched the Greek Language Academy, offering students worldwide the chance to learn Greek through engaging, informal lessons shared on social media. Just a year later, in 2023, he debuted his first online course: an immediate and overwhelming success.

NEW LANGUAGE, NEW EXPERIENCES

Learning a new language, particularly the language of the country you moved to, is extremely important and enriching. For expats and internationals, knowing the local idiom in Greece can make a significant difference in their professional lives. Navigating bureaucracy, communicating and bonding with coworkers, reading and understanding legal documentation, and progressing professionally are good reasons to learn Greek.

This is not just a work-related topic. Greek becomes a valuable asset even for those who move to the Hellenic country to study and pursue academic excellence. Many degree programs, especially in public schools, involve some degree of Greek, which knowing can help to open doors and new opportunities, such as scholarships, and improve the quality of life on campus.

You are not a student or a professional, but you fit into the category of a digital nomadwho loves to travel and live life in Greece? Speaking the language can change your experience for the better. Chatting to locals, being independent when it comes to directions, and understanding deeply the culture and the humor of people is possible when knowing Greek.

THE PERFECT RESOURCE FOR YOUR GREEK

E-learning has rapidly become the go-to method for gaining new skills, offering flexibility, accessibility, and convenience. Recognizing this shift, Alexandros embraced short-form content by sharing daily videos, like reels and TikToks, to make Greek language learning both easy and enjoyable. His approach blends education with entertainment, allowing students to learn at their own pace, anytime and anywhere. In addition to daily content, he also created a series of in-depth MasterCourses. With a focus on accessibility and interactivity, Alexandros is redefining what it means to learn a language in the digital age, making Greek not just approachable but unforgettable.

To start learning Greek now, please visit the Greek Language Academy website!

Athens Welcomes Porosi

In the old days, "πώρωση" (porosi) was a widely used word and concept to describe passion, pleasure, excitement, delight, madness. Even as a fleeting intense sensation in music, film, food, play, life in general. Then it kind of disappeared. "POROSI" is now here to experientially bring back the meaning of this forgotten word through music.

The newly formed POROSI, created by one of the founding members of Arte Fiasco, officially introduces itself and announces its first three scheduled concerts for the coming season.

The presale for the first three concerts is available, including Early Bird tickets.

POROSI 01: SARAH DAVACHI + KARA-LIS COVERDALE

Tuesday 7 October 2025

Opening Act: Bethnal Greener
at Gazarte Main Stage

Two of the most important contemporary representatives of the minimal, experimental scene for the first time in Greece, in a unique double bill appearance happening for the first time ever in Europe.

Sarah Davachi, is a Canadian composer and performer of organ and Hammond B3, who moves both between acoustic forms and electronic instruments, and between melody and structured noise. Influenced by minimalist principles, early music concepts and experimental practices, she has created a remarkable discography and has presented her work internationally in many iconic venues.

Kara-Lis Coverdale is an internationally acclaimed Canadian artist who moves comfortably between acoustic and electronic sound, creating works that transcend the boundaries of musical genres. Her work is characterized by a deep understanding of electronic music without borders, rooted in the interconnected paths of musical systems and languages.

Bethnal Greener is the name of the musical vehicle of Kostis Kilymis, sound artist and producer. Starting from the realm of noise and electroacoustic experimentation, he unfolds narratives between stripped down electronics and the insistent inner pulse of sounds. His new album, "Field", is expected to be released in the autumn.

POROSI 02: OREN AMBARCHI

Sunday 7 December 2025

Opening Acts: Tropical Geometry + Savvas Metaxas

at Gazarte Main Stage

Oren Ambarchi's music lives at the intersection between different styles and influences: contemporary electronic music, improvisation, experimental minimalism, deceptive simplicity, latent rock physicality. Since the late 1990s his experiments in guitar abstraction and extended technique have led to a more personal and unique sound world that incorporates a wider palette of instruments and sensibilities.

Ambarchi has performed, collaborated and recorded with a wide range of artists including Fennesz, Sunn 0))), Alvin Lucier, John Zorn, Merzbow, Jim O'Rourke, Fire! and many others.

Tropical Geometry began as a diverse musical project between friends, which resulted in their studio album "Luck Mountain" (2021). Now operating as a dynamic duo (Babis Theocharis & Antonis Papadopoulos), they unfold their experimental pop music through their sonic explorations into the paths of Krautrock, psychedelia and minimalism. The project's live performances are extremely rare.

Savvas Metaxas is a musician and sound artist active in the fields of experimental music, field recordings and modular synthesizer. With more than 15 releases on vinyl, CD and cassettes, his music has been released on numerous labels such as LINE, Superpang, Granny Records, Glistening Examples, More Mars, Flaming, Pines, Coherent States, Falt, Grisaille, and he has performed in numerous concerts organized in experimental art spaces, music festivals, museums, galleries and concert halls. His latest release "Feedback Poetics", is out by "The Tapeworm".

POROSI 03: DECIUS

Saturday 10 January 2026

Opening Acts: TBA

at AN Club

DECIUS is an obscure supergroup. Lias Saoudi of Fat White Family, Luke & Liam May of Trashmouth Records and Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London & Warmduscher - have travelled planet earth together since 2021 freeing humans from unbearable banality with the release of Decius Vol. I and more recently Decius Vol. II (Splendour & Obedience). Through them they have revealed to all those they have met along the way, exactly what was missing from their lives: an uncontrollable impulse with no boundaries and no reason.

POROSI 01

POROSI 02

POROSI 03

Early Bird: 23€ (limited amount of tickets for POROSI 01 + 02)

Presale: 26€

Door: 29€

*For the concerts POROSI 01 + POROSI 02 at Gazarte Main Stage (October 7 and December 7, 2025) standing tickets will be available for 20€, after the Early Bird seated tickets are sold out.

WHEN: Mentoring For Career Development & Gender Equality

Mentorship can be a turning point in a woman’s professional journey. At WHEN, mentoring is not just about guidance — it’s about building bridges between women, sharing experiences, and creating opportunities for growth. Through the WHEN Mentoring Platform, women can find a mentor who understands their challenges, supports their ambitions, and helps them design a path toward their goals.

Whether you are looking for a mentor to accompany you in your next career step, or you wish to give back by becoming a mentor yourself, the platform makes it easy to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

What Mentoring Is (And Isn’t)

A mentor is not a teacher or a guru. She is a fellow professional who shares her own knowledge and experience, helping her mentee clarify goals, overcome challenges, and take practical steps forward.

Unlike coaching or therapy, mentoring is focused on professional development rather than personal issues. It’s a supportive partnership where experience becomes a stepping stone for another woman’s progress.

Become Mentee F.ebbfdd40

How The Platform Works

Through the platform, mentees can:

Browse profiles of mentors from diverse professional fields.
Choose the mentoring package that best fits their needs.
Request a collaboration directly with their mentor of choice.
Track progress and receive updates through the platform.

The platform also ensures smooth communication, keeps a record of the mentoring journey, and supports both mentor and mentee every step of the way.

MentorBadge 800x500.a77463c5

Mentoring Packages

To fit different needs, WHEN offers 3 flexible options:

3-Month Mentoring Package
Ideal if you have a few focused questions or want to explore a new field. Includes at least 3 sessions and ongoing support from the WHEN team.
6-Month Mentoring Package
Best for deeper support in advancing your career path. Includes at least 6 sessions and continuous guidance from the WHEN team.
Coaching & Mentoring 2-in-1
A combined package for those who haven’t yet decided on a specific career direction. Includes 4 coaching sessions plus two 3-month mentoring packages in different fields.

Mentoring at WHEN is about solidarity, empowerment, and long-term impact. Since its launch in 2020, thanks to the support of the WHEN community, the platform has grown into a trusted resource for women seeking guidance and connection.

Every mentoring relationship is unique, but all share a common thread: women lifting each other up and paving the way for greater equality in the workplace.

✨ Are you ready to start your mentoring journey?

Explore the platform, meet the mentors, and choose the path that’s right for you!
