CITY College alumnus receives Prose Award by the Club of UNESCO Art-Literature and Science in Greece
Congratulations to our alumnus, Mr. Yiannis Mylopoulos, on receiving the 2nd Prose Award by the Club of UNESCO Art-Literature and Science in Greece for his story under the title ‘23.23’. The award-winning story - written in Greek - was published by ethnos.gr (the online newspaper of the Greek national newspaper ‘Ethnos’). The story is inspired by the 9/11 attack and that day’s impact on humanity. It stayed in the writer’s drafts for years until the time came for the scenario to be developed and the story to be completed and published. The story’s key message is love in human relationships, the importance of simple things in life and how we tend to forget to enjoy them overwhelmed by the deluge information in today’s fast-paced world. When asked about the award and storytelling Mr Mylopoulos said: “It was definitely a great honour to receive the Unesco Award. However, receiving an award is not my goal when I write. When you like writing it is an integral part of your everyday life. It is an inner process that needs to be expressed. I believe that whatever your job is, your primary goal should not be to win an award or gain recognition but to offer and give back something to society and to promote innovative thinking.” Speaking about his relationship with Marketing Mr. Mylopoulos said: “I first became involved with Marketing back when I was working for Goody’s and when I studied for the MSc in Management at CITY College of course. I could never work in Marketing in a ‘strictly business’ way. Stories are part in everything I do and that is why I prefer working in business storytelling for big corporations, writing scenarios, creating concepts and drafting short stories that contribute to the story that a brand name needs to tell with its ‘brand voice’.” Mr. Mylopoulos is Strategic & Creative Communications Consultant, specialising in creative coaching and digital storytelling and is also owner of Fabrika Storytelling Studio. He graduated from CITY College, International Faculty of the University of Sheffield in 2003 and holds the MSc in Management.

Dr Dimitriadis presents lecture on ‘The Leadership Brain’ in Belgrade
Dr Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Regional Director of CITY College for Serbia, Montenegro and BiH, was exclusive speaker at Hemofarm Foundation event on 25 September organised at Nova Iskra hub in Belgrade. His lecture on 'The Leadership Brain' was part of the Hemofarm Foundation Mentoring Programme. “The last 30 years our understanding of the brain increased drastically due to advances of neuro technology. We finally accepted the fact that this complex and wonderful organ inside our skulls is fully responsible for both our best and worse behaviour. Leadership is no different. Leadership thinking went through many changes during the last century. From extremely simplistic approaches, like carrots and sticks, to more advanced ones like complexity and chaos theory, there is a constant race to unlock what make a great leader.”, said Dr Dimitriadis in front of the full hall of mentors and mentees of the 2018/2019 generation. Mr. Nikola Isailović, a Hemofarm Foundation scholar said it was the second lecture by Dr Dimitriadis that he attended and that it was the most impressive of his lectures so far, since it opened the door to a new future of business which is awaiting us. “The lectures of the Mentoring Programme always motivate us to development our skills additionally, to adapt to the changes that are brought by the contemporary business environment in order to become leaders who will really make the world a better place”.
