Spring Arbor University Cross Cultural Studies

The students in Greece have recently enjoyed visiting places such as Olympia, Corinth and the Acropolis. The students really enjoyed attending an amazing opera in the Herodium, an ancient theater at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens—they saw and heard the “Odeon of Herodes Atticus.”

The England/Scotland Team wrapped up its time in London. These three pictures highlight a few learning experiences the students participated in:

Picture 1: The memorial flame sculpture to John Wesley in Aldersgate.
Picture 2: MP Paul Scully speaking to our students about Parliament.
Picture 3: Our group with Paul Scully in front of the Speaker's Carriage.

The Greece students have been having a blast. A few of the highlights include hiking Mount Olympus, visiting the monasteries of Meteora, and exploring the ancient site of the city of Philippi.

The England/Scotland trip has been blessed by amazing weather. The students have commented about their surprise at seeing how incredibly diverse in terms of language, culture, race, and religion the people of inner London are. These past few days we have had immersive experiences in religion, visiting church services at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.

The students in England have begun their trip by exploring London and they have enjoyed it. So far they have seen the Parliament building, the British Museum, Buckingham Palace and much more.

The students in Chicago have had fun visiting the Garfield Park Conservatory. They also had the chance to see the south side of Chicago and practice using the bus transportation.

The students in Greece have enjoyed exploring the city of Athens. They have also made their way north to Leptokaria and stopped along the way to take pictures with the beautiful countryside.

The Greece group has arrived in Athens! They have enjoyed the cooking of Mary Romeos and her team at the Cosmovision Center. Today Monday the group will head north by private bus, stopping in Delphi in the mountains to learn about the ancient Oracle of Delphi and see that site visited by ancient civilizations and their rulers over hundreds of years. The group will continue on north to the village of Leptokaria (near Thessaloniki and Katarini) where we will be staying at the ABC Bible Center camp. The camp is located in the tiny village of Leptokaria on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Everyone will have a view of the Sea from their room with a balcony for relaxing and enjoying the view of the sea.
