Global Educational and Maritime Leaders Sign Significant "Blue Frontiers" Agreement at ACS Athens to Champion Ocean Stewardship

Global Educational and Maritime Leaders Sign Significant "Blue Frontiers" Agreement at ACS Athens to Champion Ocean Stewardship (0)

ACS Athens proudly hosted the signing ceremony for the Blue Frontiers Program, an inspiring international partnership between Roger Williams University, the International Propeller Club Port of Piraeus, the Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation, and ACS Athens. This collaborative initiative establishes a strategic alliance dedicated to advancing maritime education and ocean stewardship for the next generation of leaders.

The program, centered on a commitment known as "Our Pledge," offers students a real-world summer exploration of the Earth’s oceans and the burgeoning global Blue economy. By combining academic rigor with scientific research and industry networking, the partners aim to inspire youth to protect and sustainably manage marine environments.

The event featured impactful remarks by ACS Athens President Dr. Peggy Pelonis and Mr. Costis Frangoulis, President of the International Propeller Club, Port of Piraeus, whose vision and leadership continue to champion environmental stewardship and youth opportunity. The ceremony also welcomed Dr. Dionysia-Theodora Avgerinopoulou, Greek Prime Minister’s Envoy for the Ocean and Chair of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Environmental Protection, who underscored the national and global importance of such initiatives.

A significant highlight of the partnership is the generous scholarship support provided by Mr. Frangoulis and the Propeller Club, which helps make this transformative experience accessible to students. Additional insights were shared during the ceremony by Ms. Carla Tanas, Dean of the Institute, and Ms. Beatriz Tintoré of the Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation, who both emphasized the vital intersection of research, sustainability, and experiential learning.

Through the Blue Frontiers summer program, students are challenged to embrace Conscious Global Citizenship—applying their skills, compassion, and learning to protect the oceans and improve life and living for future generations.

The official agreement was signed on May 13, 2026, at ACS Athens, marking a new chapter in international educational collaboration for the benefit of the global maritime community.

Mimi Dennisi: The moving "goodbye" to Olympia Doukakis

With a tender post on her Instagram, Mimi Dennisi said goodbye to Olympia Doukaki.

"Our Olympia is gone !!! She left us on a festive day and plunged me into sorrow. What can I say about this woman? Great actress. The only Greek woman with a huge career in America with her own troupe and an Oscar winner. This is the least. "As a person, deeply emotional, moving, funny, unstoppable, active, altruistic", she initially stated in her post.

The revelation about their relationship
And she continued: "There was a support, a counselor, an inspiration for my dear friend. We spent many months together in Cyprus preparing the play for the State Theater in Athens when our beloved Martin Sherman was playing Rose at my Theater. "Asia Minor", originally with parents who left with the catastrophe, was the one who insisted that I write Smyrna and I owe it to her!"

"She then came to our rehearsals at the Theater and wrote to me afterwards. Thank you for bringing me back to my Greek roots. Have a good trip wonderful Greek woman! My only Olympia," she concluded in her post about the Oscar winner, Olympia Doukaki who passed away at the age of 90.
