This week in our online class we travel to Greece, which, historically, being home to the powerful yet philosophical Ancient Greeks — the Spartans, the Athenians, the Macedonians and more — who paved the way for the Roman Empire, is very much at the heart of what makes Western Europe “Western Europe.” Culturally, however, Greece retains so much of its Byzantine/Ottoman heritage that it’s very much a land of “the East,” and clearly Greece is geographically located to the south of the countries we know as Eastern Europe. All Around This World weighed these east-meets-west options and decided that, for our purposes, Greece could land in the West, while looking eastward in its music and dance. Onward!
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
