Hellenic Observatory Panel Discussion

'Panel Discussion: 50 years from the Athens Polytechneio uprising'

Thursday 16 November 2023, 6.30pm- 8.00pm

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Athens Polytechneio uprising in November 1973, the Hellenic Observatory commemorates this historic occasion with a panel discussion with some of those who were there and others who can help us to understand its significance. Less than a year later, the brutal Colonels’ Junta would collapse. How important was the uprising in this outcome? Why did the uprising prove so formative for the political experience of a generation that bore its name?
