Giota Karabini
Philologist/Responsible Teacher
A teacher with extensive experience in high schools in Athens. Graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Athens, with a Master's degree in Applied Pedagogy and a PhD in Children's Literature.I am on secondment in The Hague, The Netherlands, at the TEG The Hague from September 2023. My desire, purpose and dream in this new educational experience that is opening up to me is to empower Greek children who live abroad to connect both linguistically and culturally in Greek language, history and culture and thus complete the formation of their particular identity. I enjoy teaching, learning foreign languages, travelling, getting to know other countries, cultures and people, I am interested in History, and I am moved by the Arts especially Literature.
