George Seferis
A Multilingual Journey Through Time and Memory
Introduction
Welcome to an intellectually rich and immersive learning experience, where literature, history, and digital innovation converge.
This program invites you to explore a defining moment in the life of George Seferis—his diplomatic service in Korçë (1936–1937). More than a historical episode, this period marks a profound transformation in his personal and poetic identity.
Curated by Sofia Deligiorgi and Amalia Rontou-Gorou, this initiative offers a refined engagement with Seferis’ work through a contemporary, interdisciplinary lens.
An Invitation to Encounter
We warmly invite you to enter a space of reflection and discovery. Together, we will trace a subtle yet powerful shift in Seferis’ life—where external isolation becomes internal depth, and lived experience is transfigured into poetic expression.
At the heart of this program lies a dynamic dialogue between past and present, silence and articulation, lived reality and poetic creation.
Pedagogical Approach
Our methodology is grounded in interdisciplinary inquiry, experiential learning, and digital engagement.
Participants gain access to curated materials that bring Seferis’ world into vivid, contemporary focus.
Program Design
Four printed and digital posters function as intellectual and aesthetic entry points.
Each includes QR codes for seamless access to multimedia content.
Materials are available in English, Greek, and Albanian.
Thematic Units
Learning Outcomes
Participants will understand how silence becomes creativity, how daily life becomes poetry, and how history shapes expression.
Final Invitation
We invite you to become part of this intellectual journey. Korçë is not merely a place, but a space of transformation.
The journey begins where technology meets poetry.
