Big Congratulations to our students for crossing the 42km Marathon's finish line!
Nikolaos Mantsios, Haris Liampas and Stelios Karatzas completed yesterday the 9th International Marathon “Alexander the Great”. They all raced the marathon for the first time. Stelios completed the race in 4 hours 3 minutes while Nikos and Haris have run it side by side in 5 hours 8 minutes. Anybody who deals with sports and long distance races knows that the marathon is one of the most challenging sports. Stelios mentioned modestly that the race was not so difficult as everybody says about the 42km as he regularly runs for training 10-15 km. His decision to run the marathon was made recently and crossing the line made him feel proud of himself for achieving one more challenging goal. Haris says : “I dedicate this Μarathon race to Nikolaos Mantios with whom I was with at the whole duration of the race and we crossed the finish line side by side, I believe that if he was not with me in the whole distance I would not have made it. Also I devote this race to my friends and family that waited for me in the finish line to offer me help, and to all those that believed in me and sent me positive energy.” Nikos was more laconic after a brief conversation we had with him. He said “My goal was to complete this race, l might never run it again but the feeling of finishing this race was enough, plus fulfilling a goal l had since two years ago made me feel proud of myself.” Here we have to mention that Nikos injured his knee during the race therefore he continued to the finish line. We wish him a fast recovering and lots of strength to achieve his future targets. Once again congratulations to the three of them. We are all very proud of you and we wish you from our hearts to continue running both for your personal body and spiritual balance and for any other cause that satisfies you.

Enhancing cultural agility, communication and teamwork skills
For the purpose of enhancing internationalization the CSR and Ethics unit was delivered both in Sofia and in Thessaloniki. The unit started with 4 weeks of intensive lecturing at both locations. During these 12 hours of CSR students have acquired the foundation and core principles of CSR and ethics. After that students from the Bulgarian campus have travelled to Greece in order to form groups with students from the campus in Thessaloniki. There were 8 groups of 2 students from Bulgaria and 2 students from the International faculty, and 7 groups with 1 student from Bulgaria and 3 students from the International Faculty. During the 4-day period students have joined different lectures, seminars and workshops which were arranged to help them with their CSR group project. The two CSR lecturers, Panagiota Skoulariki and Daniela Koleva were available for questions and discussions all the time, while workshops were delivered to students in order to develop a CSR program for a company. This has proven to be an exceptional experience for all because they had the chance to visit and get familiar with other people with different cultures and to become agile. They met with colleagues from different countries, and got the opportunity to practice their knowledge on teambuilding and teamwork. Boys and girls from different parts of Europe have enhanced their social skills, have encountered diversity and have met with a variety of challenges. It is inevitable to avoid comparison, and students have indeed compared with each other. Some students have shown great leadership skills, others have participated as facilitators and intermediaries. The 4 days of CSR activities have not only built groups and coursework activities but have also built friendships and positive memories. For all lecturers and administration who participated in the organization of this event there were moments of tension and doubts how it will go. In the end we all have had a very good time and remain absolutely positive for the great value for all. All students embraced this initiative and asked to repeat it again next year. You could see the satisfaction level about this new learning experience in their eyes!

Two more students will run the Marathon
Two more students dare to run the 42km of the 9th International Alexander the Great Marathon! Stelios Karatzas and Haris Liampas run for the first time this distance, they are not professional long-distance runners, therefore their attempt is highly appreciated and valued! Stelios and Haris registered their participation through Desmos.org, the non profit philanthropic organization. Haris Liampas is from Kozani, on his 3rd year at the BSc in Psychology. He tests his limits through running, every time trying to run further and further since each extra mile helps him to uncover parts of himself and his place in the universe. It's his first attempt to cover the full distance of a marathon! Stelios Karatzas is Greek-Canadian currently studying the MA in Marketing, Advertising and PR programme. He never ran a marathon and says that he things it is going to be fun! We wish them much strength and stamina! Go Stelios and Haris! You have our full support!
