🌿 NEW FREE PUBLICATION | EDUCATIONAL ANTHOLOGY 🌿

The Hellenic Cypriot Cultural Association proudly presents the educational anthology 📘 “Child, the Heart of Nature”

a private cultural initiative of the Association, realised through the collaboration of educators, writers, and cultural practitioners from Greece, Cyprus, and the Greek Diaspora in Australia.

🌱 Dedicated to children, to nature, and to the future that belongs to them.

🌏 Inspired by the ecological disaster that shook Australia in the summer of 2019, as well as by the broader global climate crisis, this publication brings together a collective work of word and art:
poetry, stories, drawings, collages, games, reflections, and wishes,
because the heart of nature is children.

📚 Purpose of the publication To serve as:

an educational and pedagogical tool
a means of connection with the Greek language
a bridge of culture, environmental awareness, and responsibility
and to travel wherever Greek-speaking schools, communities, and institutions of Hellenism exist.

🌿 Fourna, Evrytania – A Bridge of Culture & Humanism
✨ With the Eyes of the Soul – My Eyes Are My Windows to the World. From 18 to 21 December 2025, the Hellenic Cypriot Cultural Association (HCCA) will be in Fourna, Evrytania, implementing a multi-layered Christmas action of culture, education, health, and humanism, in support of the NGO “New Life in the Village”, the local community, and above all, the children.

📚🎨 Through books, creative workshops (painting & crafts), theatrical role-play, digital fairy tales, storytelling, and open dialogue with the community, culture will become a living experience.
👁️ At the same time, ophthalmological screening will be offered to children and adults who wish to be examined, highlighting the importance of prevention, vision care, and health as pillars of quality of life.
🎄 The action will culminate in a festive community gathering with the awarding of Participation Certificates.

In Fourna, Christmas will not be just a celebration.
It will be an act of presence, gratitude, and collective memory — a reminder that village life, nature, teachers, and human connection remain essential foundations of culture.

📖 The action will actively include books and creations by the Association’s own authors, while its message and outcomes will travel internationally through SOLOMOS Web Radio TV.
