Overview
The Heritage Greece Program is an unforgettable educational and cultural immersion experience for North American students of Hellenic heritage, shared with students from ACT- American College of Thessaloniki. Heritage Greece connects Greek American and Greek Canadian College & University-age students to their Hellenic roots by allowing them to spend two intense weeks exploring Greece in all its facets.
The itinerary includes an insider’s perspective of some of the classic world’s leading museums, archeological and historical sites. The cultural component includes a broad array of activities ranging from Greek language class to dance, cooking and experiential learning in the field. The Heritage Greece experience is shared with a peer group of ACG students. Together the students explore Hellenic heritage, culture and their roots while developing long-lasting bonds with one another. Heritage Greece alumni have described the Program as a life-changing experience.
