The Lyceum Club of Greek Women was founded in 1911 by the pioneer of the Greek feminist movement, Kallirroe Siganou-Parren. From its earliest years, it took a stand against the “xenomania” of the time, promoting both the older and more recent traditions of Greece and highlighting their aesthetic, national, and social value.
Today, the Lyceum Club of Greek Women counts approximately 15,000 members and maintains a dynamic presence, always grounded in the voluntary contribution of its members. At the same time, it seeks to connect its long-standing experience in social action and the management of cultural heritage with contemporary scholarly knowledge.
The central Lyceum in Athens operates 22 departments, alongside 50 branches throughout Greece and 17 offices–Lyceums abroad.
AIGEAS AMKE has supported various branches of the Lyceum in Acharnes, Rafina, Keratea, Paiania, Spata, Argostoli, and Syros. Its donations have covered operating expenses, events, publications, the enrichment of traditional costume collections, and related needs.
