💙Χρόνια πολλά στην ελληνική γλώσσα! 💙

Today we celebrate a language that has shaped the world for over 3,000 years. From philosophy and democracy to music, theatre and idea — Greek isn’t just a language; it’s the foundation of how we think, speak, and connect.

International Greek Language Day is marked on February 9, the anniversary of the passing of Dionysios Solomos, author of the «Ύμνος εις την Ελευθερίαν» (Hymn of freedom). Through his words, Solomos celebrated freedom, dignity, and renewal — values still remain just as vital, and that each new generation must rediscover, redefine, and protect.

And as Toula’s father famously reminded us in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding":
👉 “Every word has a root in the Greek language.”
Maybe a small exaggeration… but not by much 😄

At DOP, the Greek language is more than vocabulary. It is a living expression of Hellenism, passed from generation to generation through conversation, culture, and community. Every time young Greeks speak, laugh, debate, and dream in Greek, the language evolves — and our heritage lives on.

Today, we celebrate the voices keeping Greek vibrant, relevant, and proudly alive.
💙Η ελληνική γλώσσα ζει μέσα μας!💙

🕺🏻 The winner takes it all 💃🏻
Back in September 2025, Daughters of Penelope in Vienna hosted a high-profile finance panel discussion on “Greece’s Economic Recovery”—an inspiring evening with a clear purpose: raising funds for our first Austrian DOP Scholarship, supporting a female Greek student on her academic journey. 💙

As part of the evening, two tickets to the legendary Vienna Philharmonic Ball 2026 were raffled among all donors. And the lucky winner was… Wolfgang Wainig! 🎟✨ A big shout out to our generous donor, the Philharmonic, Alexander Steinberger, who granted these valueable tickets!!

Last week the big day had finally arrived - Wolfgang and his wife truly glammed up as they joined our President Althea-Maria Papoulias at the Vienna Philharmonic Ball at the Musikverein—the ball to attend during Vienna’s ball season. And don’t they all look absolutely fabulous? ✨🎶

For those who couldn’t join us in September, here the key takeaways from our expert panel discussion: https://daughtersofpenelope.at/paneldiscussion_september2025

Big thank you to everyone, who supported our mission on education. 🌟

🌍 4. Februar 2026 | WORLD CANCER DAY
🎗️On World Cancer Day, we stand together with Krebshilfe Wien to raise awareness, promote prevention, and support those affected by cancer. 🎗️

Regular preventive screenings—especially for women—are a crucial part of early detection and can save lives. Empowering women with knowledge and access to preventive medical check-up is a key step toward better outcomes.

In March 2025, Daughters of Penelope Pallas Athena Vienna had the honor of hosting an international panel of experts to discuss cancer prevention, the importance of early screening, and the latest treatment approaches.

The full recording of this important discussion is available on our Daughters of Penelope Pallas Athena Vienna YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSKbxrOqV2m2THRhqqxyprA

Awareness, prevention, and solidarity matter—today and every day.

✨ “Never again” must be more than words — it must be a call to action. ✨

Today, on 27 January, we join the world in commemorating — a day set aside to honor the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of others persecuted and murdered under N**i tyranny.

For the Daughters of Penelope, remembering is acting. In May 2025, our sisters visited the Memorial for the Victims of N**i Justice in Vienna to honor the roughly 1,200 men and women executed there, including three young Greek heroines: Julia Bimba, Sophia Costi, and Maria Janatos. Laying a wreath, reflecting at the memorial, and restoring dignity to the names of the victims are powerful acts of remembrance and commitment to justice.

We remember to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Today we stand in solemn reflection, honoring the victims and survivors, and reaffirming our dedication to humanity, justice, and historical responsibility. It is our shared duty to confront antisemitism, hatred, and all forms of prejudice in our communities — today and every day.
