| By Florencio Venté Coha, M.A. student Social Integration, Eötvös Loránd University – ELTE (Budapest, Hungary), Stipendium Hungaricum Scholar As part of my participation in the Winter School "Migration in the Margins of Europe" organized by the Netherlands Institute at Athens, I had the opportunity to see Athens from different perspectives. It was my first time in Greece, and from day one, I was trying to explore all the new information on my surroundings while also connecting with similarities to my own culture. First, I'd like to address these similarities. As someone from Colombia, the center of Athens near the Acropolis reminded me of the center of my hometown, Cartagena—full of color, vibrancy, and history. |
