2nd International Symposium of Kytheraismos

All Kytherians and Philo-Kytherians are invited to attend the 2nd International Symposium of Kytheraismos – A world gathering of Kytherians to be held in Canberra from the 15th to the 17th of September 2006.

The symposium is to be officially opened by The Honourable John Howard MP, Prime Minister of Australia on the morning of Friday 15th September.

The theme of this year’s Symposium is the Globalisation of Kytheraismos (in essence the endeavours, philosophy, identity and culture of Kytherians). At this stage we expect to have a full agenda of speakers and many attendees from Sydney, Canberra, Interstate and Greece. The event promises to be a spectacular Kytherian event.

On the Friday and Saturday, morning and afternoon tea will be served with a light lunch and a morning tea on Sunday. It is expected that the costs for this will be fully subsidised by the Institute of Kytheraismos. Registration for the event is free.

There will be no requests for any donations or money for any cause.

On the Saturday evening there will be a Celebration Dinner Dance which will cost $45 per head. For Friday night and Sunday lunch the Hellenic Club has 3 Dining Facilities where you can eat at your own cost.

All who register at the Symposium on the Friday before the official opening will be invited to the Greek Embassy for a Cocktail Party on Friday Night and will have the opportunity to meet the newly appointed Ambassador.
