Our participation in a day-conference for the International Woman’s Day at the Municipality of Maroussi
Ms. Kostopetrou, who is in charge of the Society, was the main speaker in a day-conference organized by three cultural associations of Maroussi on 8/3/12, under the auspices of the municipality of Maroussi, in which the mayor, deputy mayors and city councilors were present.
In her speech she spoke about three great scientists; Hypatia, M. Curie and M. Montessori and she continued with analyzing the stance that each woman is called upon to have: to know her true self and then to express it by offering generously to everyone surrounding her. That is because, as it was highlighted, the woman’s function is to receive in her all the persons, the ideas, the situations and to regenerate them thus developing them. This is her true power: the practice of the science of love. The poem “Oh, Mother” (D. Kakalidis, Incentives I) that Ms. Kostopetrou recited at the end of her speech brought great emotional uplift, as the audience commented.
The comments were all very warm and there were many who, with great interest and willingness to share thoughts and ideas, thanked us and said how they were deeply touched by what was said and how important it is for every woman to understand how she can be trully well. There was great interest for the work of the Society as well as for future speeches/presentations and relaxations that the Society could offer to the citizens.
We would like to thank from our heart the cultural associations and the Municipality of Maroussi for the invitation to participate in this day-conference.
