Final Round of Three Hierarchs Oratory Competition at Psychico College High School

Feb 2, 2024

The final round of the Psychico College High School “Three Hierarchs” Oratory Competition, open to sophomores (10th graders), took place at the College Theater on Tuesday, January 30, 2024.

Winner of the 2023-2024 “THREE HIERARCHS” Prize is Kyriakopoulos Labros - Nektarios.

Students wrote an essay on the following theme:

Love, giving and sacrifice were the foundation of the life and teaching of the Three Hierarchs. The modern way of life, however, has highlighted individualism as the supreme value and has led man to alienation, moral, and spiritual crisis. The selfishness that dominates the modern world brings about insecurity, injustice and maximizes the distance in human relationships.

a. On the basis of your experiences, can love and service to fellow human beings lead modern societies to harmonious coexistence and be the hope for the renewal of the world?

b. In what ways do you believe that the concepts of love and giving to fellow human beings can be expressed in practice?
