The Greek Challenge
If you are between the ages of 8-13, you are eligible to join the Little Greeks United Competition, a thrilling knowledge game that combines learning and fun. The live online competition focuses on questions on the Greek language, mythology, history, and geography. The questions are carefully crafted by a team of experts ensuring that they are aligned with the specific goals of the competition.
The little Greeks who join our competition learn Greek, practice, make friends, come closer to their cultural heritage and win extraordinary gifts.
Our goal
This online competition was conceived in an effort to ignite a spark of curiosity and enthusiasm for Greek language and culture in children and especially pre-teens. After a lot of testing in our online classrooms, we reached the conclusion that there is no better way to learn that when you are having fun. Learning should be an adventure, an epic quest filled with exciting challenges, where every step brings you closer to unlocking the mysteries of Greek language, mythology, geography, and history. We understand that traditional learning methods may not always capture young minds, so we’ve reimagined education as a thrilling, gamified experience. This competition aims to recapture children’s interest in Greek and give this new generation the opportunity to experience our language in a contemporary and fun way.
