Lato – The Greek Language & Culture Center of Amsterdam stands as the inaugural hub for Greek Language & Culture in the heart of Amsterdam, established in 2016. Offering a range of programs encompassing Greek lessons, workshops, and activities, all overseen by seasoned instructors with a background in teaching Greek at embassies and multinational corporations. Lato firmly believes in the intrinsic link between Greek culture and language, striving to render learning accessible and enjoyable for all.
Conceived by Katerina Zachari, Lato is dedicated to disseminating the allure of the Greek language and culture to a diverse audience, catering to novices and those seeking to deepen their comprehension. With a track record of instructing Greek to expatriates, executives, diplomats, and their families, Lato’s methodology accentuates a dynamic learning environment that integrates songs and narratives to enhance engagement. The ethos of the center is grounded in the appreciation of multiculturalism and the bridging of cultural divides through language.
Lato was born from a fervor for Greek culture and language, spurred by the founder’s recognition of the genuine interest in Greek culture within the Dutch community in Amsterdam. The center endeavors to tackle the challenges encountered by children of mixed marriages and expatriates in maintaining a bond with Greek language and culture while residing abroad. Through lively and joyful teaching techniques, Lato aspires to commemorate and safeguard the essence of Greek language and culture for forthcoming generations.
