Four speakers on what Greek identity is actually like to live in modern Britain — migration, growing up between two languages, and the parts that get negotiated rather than inherited.
The question is simple enough to state and hard to answer at any length: what does it mean to be Greek in Britain now. For some of the room it is a migration story with a clear before and after; for others it is the more ambiguous business of growing up between two languages and two sets of expectations.
The Anglo-Hellenic League puts four voices to it across generations — the sociologist Athanasia Chalari, Nick Bouras, the League’s former Vice-Chair Roula Konzotis and its current Council member Ikaros Matsoukas. The framing is deliberately open rather than academic: belonging, home, heritage, and the ordinary things that turn out to carry them.
At the Hellenic Centre on Paddington Street, seven until nine.
