The Hellenic Union of Small-Scale Shipping Honored the Global Day of the Greek Language
The Hellenic Union of Small-Scale Shipping celebrated the Global Day of the Greek Language, recognizing its cultural significance and historical impact.
The Hellenic Union of Small-Scale Shipping (EENMA) actively supported the celebration of the Global Day of the Greek Language, a significant day established through Greece's initiative at UNESCO, largely due to the coordinated diplomatic efforts of the Permanent Representation and Greek representative George Koumoutsakos. This historic decision highlights the enduring strength and worldwide cultural reach of the Greek language, demonstrating its importance beyond national borders.
As part of the celebrations, the various roles of the Greek language across different fields were showcased, particularly emphasizing its contributions to science, philosophy, and shipping. The event served not only to honor the language itself but also to appreciate its historical journey across seas and ports, reflecting its influence in various aspects of life and culture.
In a gesture of appreciation for the language's rich heritage, the president of EENMA, Charalampos Simantonis, presented commemorative ties and scarves featuring the Greek alphabet to the President of the Republic and members of the government. This initiative emphasizes the commitment of EENMA to promote and preserve the Greek language while fostering a greater understanding of its global significance.
