Sculpted over 2,000 years ago, the Parthenon Marbles are unique and priceless testaments of the Worlds Cultural Heritage. They are the legacy of one of the world’s oldest civilisations and are symbols of humanity’s pursuit of artistic and architectural excellence. The marbles were not freestanding art but rather were an integral component of a single architectural and artistic piece which was hacked apart by Lord Elgin in the 1800’s. While pressure continues to mount for their return, these “spoils of war and occupation” currently lie hostage in the British Museum in London; thousands of miles away from their home. The unite the marbles website, is an online petition requesting the reunification of the missing Parthenon Marbles to Athens. They will be housed in the shadow of the Acropolis in one of the most dazzling and technologically-advanced museums in the world. This will showcase these priceless treasures in their historical and cultural environment, and restore dignity to one of the world’s most magnificent and best-known monuments: the Parthenon. The petition will be handed to: - The British Government and Parliament
- The British Museum
- The European Parliament, Council and Commission
- The United Nations
- UNESCO
NUGAS invites you to visit www.unitethemarbles.org and sign the petition! We thank you for your support.

A modern Greek return Australia's universities have become tongue-tied over the past decade, with the number of languages on offer falling from 66 to 29 and demand for those courses falling. Now, in a small step against the tide, modern Greek will make a comeback to Monash University after a 10-year hiatus. The move brings Monash in line with major Victorian universities such as La Trobe, which is the main institution teaching modern Greek in Victoria. Evangelia Anagnostou-Laoutides, from Monash's classical studies department, says a 2 year push from the Monash Hellenic Student Society prompted the move. She says the course, which begins next year, will be funded by the the Greek Government to promote the language in the Greek-Australian community. Melbourne is home to the biggest Greek-speaking population outside Greece - with almost 47 per cent of Greek Australians living in Melbourne.... Click here to read the article |

Former National President of NUGAS Lambros Tapinos was elected Mayor in his local council of the City of Moreland last month. Mayor Tapinos, a Brunswick local, was National President of NUGAS between 2004-2005, and held numerous other roles within NUGAS during his time studying at Victoria University. During his time in NUGAS he led many awareness campaigns, and with Cameron Palassis helped formulate NUGAS' response to the Australian Government on Voluntary Student Unionism. NUGAS would like to take this opportunity to extend its congratulations and best wishes to Lambros and hope that Moreland prospers under his guidance and leadership. |

NUGAS has ratified and added a new Policy, relating to International Hellenism. The policy, written by Jack Miriklis before his departure as National President, discusses International Hellenism, what NUGAS as an organisation will be doing to increase awareness and information sharing of Hellenism worldwide. It also discusses the setting of an international Federation of Greek Students. This policy has been accepted, and as such, required an amendment to the National Constitution to incorporate an International Liaison Officer. See the Policy Page to read the new policy, and comment on it in our forums. |
