The changes caused in our lives and the world by the Covid 19 pandemic, couldn't have leave the life of our FLEX students unaffected. Therefore, the FLEX Greece first generation has returned home earlier than expected but with their luggage full of experiences and memories. The last group of students arrived in Greece safley on Friday, April 17th, so everybody had the joy to spend Easter with their families!!  

Their safe return wouldn't have been possible without the hard and endless work of our FLEX Program and the AmericanCouncils team. We are also grateful for the support of the Greece in Washington and the Greek Consulate in Frankfurt. A great thank you to the host families that kept supporting our students until the last moment and of course to their families here in Greece for their trust and patience.  

We are so proud of these students not only for their bravery to be the first generation to join the FLEX Program but also for the bravery and maturity with which they faced this unprecedented situation. We are looking forward to hear their stories, learn from their experience and see them start the firts FLEX alumni community of Greece. 

Welcome back!
