The
Eastern Languages and Civilizations Centre
(ELCC) is a highly specialised
language school, addressed to those wishing to learn
languages of the East, as well as study the
civilisation of eastern peoples.
The
ELCC started out in 1985 by offering Turkish
language courses; the aim was to bring
together the people of Greece and Turkey, based on the
belief that a language is the ideal means of bridging
the gaps between different cultures. So, Greeks that
attended and completed Turkish language courses in the
ELCC were able to obtain not only a good knowledge of
the language itself, but also a comprehensive
understanding of the civilisation of their
neighbouring country (old and modern language,
history, society, economy, folklore and traditions,
religion, way of life).
Moreover, the ELCC’s longstanding activities in this
specific field, the fact that most of our
teachers come from Turkey and have completed their
studies there, as well as our long and solid
relations with the biggest cultural institutions and
universities of Turkey (in Ankara, Istanbul,
Izmir etc.) have built a solid basis between Greece
and Turkey, allowing us to support student exchange
between the two countries for years now.
ELCC
students are comfortable travelling in Turkey for
educational, professional as well as leisure purposes;
Turkish students studying Modern Greek have been
coming to Greece for postgraduate studies. In the
course of some years, ELCC’s activities have expanded
to include Arabic and Hebrew.
As always, the ELCC has applied its usual
well-organised and responsible work and was able to offer
high quality courses in these languages, as
well as in their respective cultures. As you will
understand when browsing our site, other languages
have been gradually added to the above, whereas the
ELCC is open to the possibility of including even
more.
