A NEW EXCLUSIVE DIGITAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

Ὁ μὲν ἀκηκοὼς ἐπελάθετο, ὁ δ’ ἑορακὼς μέμνηται· μεμάθηκε δ’ ἀληθῶς ὁ ποιήσας. Ἀνώνυμος Σινικός* *φερόμενον πολλαχῶς Γεωργίου χαρακίτου ἐπιλέλησται μὲν ὁ ἀκηκοώς, μέμνηται δ' ὁ ἑορακώς, μεμάθηκε δ' ἀληθῶς ὁ ποιήσας. Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἄλλως ἀκροατοῦ μὲν τὸ ἐπιλελῆσθαι, θεατοῦ δὲ τὸ μεμνῆσθαι, ποιητοῦ δὲ τὸ ἀληθῶς μεμαθηκέναι. Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἄλλως ἀκηκοότος μὲν τὸ ἐπιλελῆσθαι, ἑορακότος δὲ τὸ μεμνῆσθαι, πεπραχότος δὲ τὸ ἀληθῶς μεμαθηκέναι. Σωτηρίου γραμματικοῦ Ὁ μὲν ἀκούσας ἐπελάθετο, ὁ δ' ἰδὼν μέμνηται· μόνος δ' ἔμαθεν ὁ ποιήσας.

Sinohellenica constitutes an exclusive e-Community of Practice, composed of prominent Classicists from China and a Research Team from the Centre for the Greek Language. On the Greek side, participating scholars include among others Professors of Classics at the University of Thessaloniki, Greece J. N. Kazazis and Antonios Rengakos, respectively President and Member of the Board of Directors of the CGL.

The objective of this initiative launched by the Centre for the Greek Language (CGL: the official research and applications foundation of the Greek Ministry of Education, founding member of the European Federation of National Institutions for Language) is to assist departments of Classics already existing in China to expand from ancient Greek into the field of Byzantine and Modern Greek language, literature and culture. The members of the e-Community of Practice will jointly develop e-courses, suitable for the needs of undergraduate students in China. To this end, the CGL is putting at the disposal of the members of this online community and collaborating university departments all the digital resources for the study of Greek it has compiled in a period of the previous fifteen years, as the basis for distance collaboration among scholars and joint research ventures. The CGL is the authoritative instrument for the Certification of (Modern) Greek abroad, operating with its 150 examination centres all over the world.
