In the studio of “Voice of Greece,” we hosted the award-winning Varvara Athanasiou-Ioannou from Melbourne, founder of the Food For Thought Network (Network of Spiritual Nourishment for Greek Women), who spoke to us about the successful 1st Global Conference “Women and Hellenism” that took place in Ioannina.

The conference aimed to connect Greek women from around the world to share their stories, the challenges they faced in their professional journeys, and to address the question of what “Hellenism” is and how they can maintain it in the countries where they live.

During the interview, the active Greek woman from Melbourne announced that despite the challenges she faced, in two years, in 2026, the 1st Conference “Women and Hellenism” will again be held in Ioannina.
