I have been teaching Greek literature courses to middle and high school students for twenty years, at the “2001 Orosimo” educational center and at the Technical Vocational School of the Komotini Hospital. I have also worked at the Cultural Center of the Municipality of Komotini, particularly in the organization, operation and guided tours of exhibition spaces and at the law office of Mr. G.K.
