The Public Engagement Scheme of the English Studies Department
We all believe that teaching is a noble profession that makes all other professions possible! To ensure future opportunities of education in these hard times, a generous volunteer-mentality is integral to social equality and advancement. It is this mentality of an outward-facing ethos that caters to informed citizenry, offering back to society and raising awareness which prompted the launch of a noteworthy programme. The English Studies Department in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki, launched its Public Engagement Scheme titled: “Supporting Financially Weak Families of Thessaloniki: English Language Lessons for Teenagers” in 2016. It has since seen a successful run up until the present day. The Public Engagement Scheme serves a twofold aim. Firstly, it provides teenage students with the opportunity to improve their level of English and acquire the B2 certificate within a period of three years. Secondly, the initiative gives Level 3 students of the English Studies Department the opportunity to do their teaching practice in real-classroom conditions under the supervision of Dr Vicky Papachristou and Dr Cathy Marazi. More importantly, the scheme aims to raise awareness towards the need to overcome stereotypes and ensure equal and fair treatment to all. We would like to thank all our students and staff for offering their knowledge, skills and time as well as Express Publishing for supporting this cause every year by donating the coursebooks to students and teachers.

14th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference by SEERC, a research centre of CITY College
The 14th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference (PGR2020), organized by South East European Research Centre (SEERC), the research centre of CITY College, was successfully held online during 22nd - 26th June 2020. More than 50 participants attended this year’s 20 research presentations –classified under four research tracks and accepted based on the extended abstracts submitted–, 4 research workshops and the 3MT (3-minutes thesis) competition. Almost all participants were extremely active in the online platform posting more than 150 questions and comments, which were collected during the presentation sessions by the session chairs. These were further forwarded to the presenters as additional feedback, complementarily with the oral and written feedback that more than 10 experienced researchers provided as discussants at the end of each presentation. In order to facilitate the above process, 8 sessions were designed for including 2 or 3 papers maximum with no parallel sessions evolving concurrently, thus offering considerable time for discussion after each presentation maximizing the attendance and creating an environment that also boosts interdisciplinarity. On average, 21 participants attended each of the 20 presentations and every session received on average a 4.8 out of 5 evaluation score in the polls taking place at the end of each session and attracting 275 votes. All the above, combined with at least 2 reviews that presenters received towards their submitted extended abstract, contributed to achieving one of the two main goals of the PGR conference; to offer high-quality feedback to the participating young researchers, either PhD students or MSc/MA students that their MSc/MA thesis was on a research-oriented topic. The other aim of the conference has been to offer high-quality research training to participating young researchers. To facilitate this, PGR2020 further included 4 Research seminars and workshops provided by experienced researchers (achieving on average a 4.9 out of 5 evaluation score) and the 3MT (3-minutes thesis) competition (enabling students to think and identify the most important points of their research to effectively communicate them in 3 minutes). Finally, students received training regarding valuable employability skills since they organized the conference completely by themselves under the guidance and mentoring of a few experienced researchers. We would like to thank all participants, session chairs, discussants, research workshop organizers, presenters, and organizers for enabling an ecosystem to achieve research excellence through an enjoyable atmosphere. We look forward to the next one (PGR2021), where we aim to use this year's experience and offer another successful hybrid event maximizing participation and engagement. Research is about asking the right questions, an aspect accurately reflected by the word cloud of the more than 150 questions and comments from all the participants.

1st year of project for the Special School at Pefka successfully concluded by our Psychology students
Students from the Psychology Department of CITY College successfully completed a very special project this year for the Special School at Pefka. The conclusion meeting took place at our main campus in Thessaloniki with school representatives, Mr Evangelos Sepetis, Director of Postgraduate Programmes in Counselling Psychology and Mr Vassilis Tsoulis, Director of the Career, Employability and Enterprise centre reflecting on this very special project and its outcomes. The project involved supporting children with special needs social life and activities. Our students were meeting with the school’s young students in their free time and organised different outings to help them socialise, engage in social activities and develop social skills necessary for their social integration, quality of personal relationships and level of happiness. During spring semester the situation created by coronavirus pandemic meetings and outings became unfeasible, so our students shifted to online communication with the students with special needs thus helped them go through this particularly difficult time with their support. During the conclusion meeting, participants evaluated the evolvement of the project, examined the benefits of all students involved as well as discussed the feedback given from students and Psychology students, as well as feedback from the academic staff of the Psychology Department that supervised and guided our students. The project proved an invaluable opportunity for our students to get hands on experience from their involvement with children with special needs. This specific activity is another way in which the Psychology Department and CITY College overall give back to the community and put themselves at the service of those in need. At the closing of the meeting both parties expressed their intention to continue the collaboration in the next academic year with new initiatives and activities.
