Πάρτε την άσκηση στα χέρια σας

By

Η άσκηση αποτελεί το νούμερο 1 «φάρμακο» για την υγεία και την μακροζωία και μάλιστα χωρίς τις παρενέργειες των κλασσικών φαρμάκων. Η ποιότητα ζωής που προσδίδει η φυσική δραστηριότητα είναι αναμφισβήτητη και η επίδραση της στην μακροζωία έχει αποδειχθεί με χιλιάδες έρευνες.

Ποιο είδος άσκησης όμως, σε ποια ένταση, σε ποια συχνότητα και με τι διάρκεια είναι κατάλληλη για τον καθένα από εμάς και τους αγαπημένους μας στην παιδική, την εφηβική, την ενήλικη  αλλά και την τρίτη και την τέταρτη ηλικία?

Πως μπορούμε να γνωρίζουμε τις ανάγκες του σώματος μας για να επιλέξουμε την σωστή μορφή άσκησης? Για παράδειγμα πρέπει να κάνω βάρη ή pilates, περπάτημα ή τρέξιμο.

Πως θα σχεδιάσουμε το κατάλληλο πρόγραμμα για να μεγιστοποιήσουμε τις δυνατότητές μας?

Embracing Values: A Classroom Encounter with Olympian Pyrros Dimas

By Dr. Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Professor of World Religions, ΑCT (American College of Thessaloniki) 

“During the Spring I semester, I was teaching the course of Ancient Greek Religion and Mythology. We ‘ve been discussing the myths and religion also in terms of their endurance and relevance in the contemporary world, but mostly on the values that the Ancient Greeks left to the whole world as a legacy. In this last class I have had the privilege to present to our students Mr. Pyrros Dimas, an athlete widely considered as one of the greatest weightlifters of all time, having been three times Olympic Gold Medalist and recently elected President of the Mediterranean Weightlifting Confederation (MWC). 

Pyrros Dimas 1

The presence of a gold medal-winning Olympian to our classroom focused on values was nothing short of inspiring. With a humble smile, he shared his life journey so far, not just of his athletic achievements, but of resilience, discipline, and dedication. With eyes filled with awe and admiration, the students listened intently as Mr. Dimas shared his inspiring journey, answering their questions and emphasizing the importance of perseverance, integrity, and respect in both sports and life. His words resonated deeply, illustrating how the pursuit of excellence is not merely about winning medals but about the character forged through dedication and discipline. In that moment, the classroom was transformed into a sanctuary of aspiration, where dreams were nurtured and the significance of values was vividly demonstrated by a true exemplar. 

Pyrros Dimas 3

Thank you Pyrro! You made us proud once again!”

Celebrating the civic vocation of ACT students and alumni

Earlier this spring the Dukakis Center at ACT -- The American College of Thessaloniki --  hosted a small reception and workshop in the Bissell Library for graduates and staff who ran for public office in local elections last October.

The reception was an integral part of the Dukakis Center’s Fifth Civil Society Forum, held on campus during the week of March 4-8, 2024. Other activities scheduled that week were a voter registration drive for American citizens residing in Northern Greece; the Global Democratic Presidential Primary, co-hosted by the Thessaloniki chapter of Democrats Abroad Greece, represented by Randall Warner and Peter Baiter; and a special episode of Dukakis Center Live on Anixneusis Web TV on the theme “How to Conduct an Election when no one trusts the integrity of the process,” with guests Quinn Yeargain of Widener University and Charles Stewart of MIT.

The reception began with a briefing by David Wisner, Executive Director of the Dukakis Center, on the civic vocation of ACT students and alumni since the turn of the millennium. What follows below is a recap of the presentation and a summary of the main points raised during the ensuing workshop. Those present then responded to the following questions in a wide-ranging discussion: What prompted you to run for office in October 2023? What were the principal challenges you faced? Would you run again? Why or why not?

Highlights from the presentation

The civic character of ACT’s institutional identity was made clear in a recording of a brief interview featuring ACT Provost Stamos Karamouzis. “Paramount to ACT's mission is our institution's contribution to society,” Dr. Karamouzis says in the clip. “The role of the university is to prepare the citizens of tomorrow.” Dr. Wisner then shared various data on the incidence of public-mindedness among ACT students and alumni, and material from two ongoing projects, one on the youth vote in Greece and the US, the other, entitled “Barriers to Entry,” on the specific difficulties faced by young and first-time candidates. 

In July 2011 ACT hosted a team of education specialists from Indiana State University, who conducted a formal outcomes assessment survey on campus of ACT students. The survey measured aptitudes and performance across a broad range of curricular and extracurricular areas, including civics. The survey team found that although the ACT student body at the time lagged slightly behind their American peers in such areas as voting or membership in civic organizations, they scored higher than the American average with regard to civic knowledge and interpersonal communication, while the aggregate ACT score in this domain was better overall that that measured at institutions of higher learning in the United States (rubric on citizenship below, Appendix 1).

Data collected a decade later for a report in support of re-accreditation efforts complemented these earlier findings. ACT students from all majors, and particularly International Relations, were found to have interned or volunteered with varying degrees of frequency, in the decade of the 2010s, while select candidates had an opportunity to take a civil society practicum for credit or attend masterclasses conducted on and off campus by renowned practitioners. As many as 60% of those surveyed had demonstrated some civic vocation during their residency here, while 25% or more actually found meaningful work in civil society or the public sector after finishing their studies at ACT. Impressionistic data corroborates these findings, with alumni from all major fields experiencing some degree of success in electoral politics, particularly in the countries of Southeast Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the United States.

As the discussion turned next to the actual experience of running a campaign in local elections, three themes emerged: time constraints; the cost of mounting a campaign; and the integration of information technology in a candidate’s communication strategy. The biggest obstacle for any candidate to overcome is the lack of time. More than one of the evening’s guests lamented that they did not have enough free time to meet the demands of a regular campaign, even in a municipal election. Also lamented was the cost of campaigning, regardless of how well known an individual candidate might be. An overcrowded electoral list is an impediment to overcome, where candidates on the same mayoral ticket are also rivals for a limited number of seats on a municipal council. 

Finally, the participants in the discussion remarked how difficult it was to integrate the use of social media into a campaign where one’s personal presence was at a premium. George Kokkas, Director of ACT’s Entrepreneurship Hub and a candidate in Kalamaria with the outgoing Mayor, produced a video clip which went viral and was featured on several television news programs, but which did not help the candidate get elected, in the final analysis. Voters do not identify with candidates who are not online, but virtual campaigns alone cannot win an election.

This was not the first time the Dukakis Center convened candidates in local elections from the larger ACT family. In November 2019 ACT alumnus Dimitris Diamantis moderated a round table discussion at the Daios Hotel featuring seven ACT alumni who had just run in local elections that year, at which the newly elected Mayor of Thessaloniki, Konstantinos Zervos, made a cameo appearance. Then-candidate Zervos had previously been one of the subjects in the landmark exhibition “Would You Vote For Me” hosted by the Dukakis Center at the Port Annex of the National Museum of Modern Art in June 2014, at which five ACT interns presented photographs of select candidates in local and European elections that year. (A partial list of these and other related events is appended below, Appendix 2.)

Modest though the current reception may have been, all those present agreed that it was stimulating and productive. As one of the guests concluded, ACT and the Dukakis Center are a beacon of light for political awareness in our city.

The Dukakis Center’s next election-related event will take place later in the spring of 2024. Meanwhile, the Center will begin implementing the curricular proposals made in intern Jack Roberts’ report, in a pilot training course designed to help first-time candidates launch their maiden campaigns. Supporting this latter project is a report produced by study abroad intern Jack Roberts (American University, Fall 2023) entitled “Qualitative Entry into Civic Education and Political Management Programs” (excerpt below, Appendix 3).

Meet the interns

The Dukakis Center has played host to a lively group of interns thus far during the 2023-24 academic year. They have been active in two capacities, doing research for an ongoing project on extant housing built for refugees from Asia Minor in the greater Thessaloniki area, and carrying out various tasks during the Fifth Thessaloniki Civil Society Forum on March 4-8. Certain interns will be tasked with helping to organize a workshop on democracy and elections later this spring. 

The Center has also welcomed three study abroad students from American University, who have worked on special projects during there stay in Thessaloniki, and a group of study abroad volunteers, whose presence was instrumental to the success of the Civil Society Forum.

Agapi Farra is a sophomore studying Politics and International Relations at ACT. She already holds a degree in Social Anthropology and History (University of the Aegean). She is a Fellow at NATO's Innovation Hub and after graduating she is planning to pursue a master's degree in Diplomacy and International Affairs. Agapi will provide Greek-language translations and serve as the production assistant for Dukakis Center Live on Anixneusis Web TV.

Michael Hatsiulis is a freshman at ACT, majoring in Political Science and International Relations. He is deeply interested in global politics, and is hoping to get involved in both on a systemic and journalistic manner after graduation. During the Fall 2023 semester Michael polled candidates who ran in the 2023 local elections, as part of an ongoing project entitled "Barriers to Entry: Challenges faced by young and first-time candidates in local elections in Greece."

During the Fall 2023 semester Jack Roberts was a study abroad student visiting ACT from American University in Washington, DC. He is pursuing a B.A. in International Studies and plans to attend law school upon graduation. Outside of academics, Jack has three years of experience at international nonprofits, most recently in Washington DC. Jack prepared a report for the "Barriers to Entry" project entitled "Qualitative Entry into Civic Education and Political Management Programs," which outlined ways in which select American approaches to civic education and political management might be tailored to the local environment in Thessaloniki.

Jasmine Trunkenpolz is a sophomore at ACT, where she is studying Political Science and International Relations. Born in Austria and raised in South Africa, Jasmine's upbringing has fostered a unique perspective on global affairs and an appreciation for the interconnectedness of nations. Jasmine was one of two interns to draft and conduct an exit poll of American voters who participated in the Global Presidential Primary at ACT on March 5, Super Tuesday.

Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Valentine Githae is currently enrolled at ACT as a study abroad student from American University, where she is undertaking a dual program that encompasses a bachelor's degree in political science and an MBA in public affairs, specializing in international management. She was invited to serve as the chief of staff during the Fifth Thessaloniki Civil Society Forum, in which capacity she mobilized volunteers and coordinated tasks assigned to other interns. With Jasmine Trunkenpolz she drafted and conducted the exit poll for participants in the Global Presidential Primary at ACT on March 5, and is currently drafting a feature article on her experience as an observer of American election practices.

Satchel Martin is a junior at American University majoring in International Relations with a minor in Data Science, sturying abroad at ACT during the Spring 2024 semester. His research focuses on conflict resolution, and he plans to work in foreign policy after he graduates. Satchel liaised with Democrats Abroad Greece during the Global Presidential Primary, and conducted a series of intensive interviews of American citizenss residing permanently in the greater Thessaloniki areas, in order to understand political behavior among the expat community in Northern Greece.
