🇬🇷 SUPPORTING AND PROMOTING HELLENISM

❤️ EMPOWERING WOMEN TO REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL

🤝 INFORMATION, SUPPORT, NETWORKNG

The GWC Facebook group supports and promotes those with links to the Hellenic world in particular female-driven businesses, entrepreneurs, authors, and more. We aim to show the world that although the man may be the head, the woman is the neck, and can turn the head any way she wants!

We act as a networking platform to allow members to socialise with like-minded individuals and help to promote businesses, bloggers, authors and others whose work centres around Hellenic themes. We are a platform to talk, share and learn about the Greek culture and most importantly to connect and empower women. You absolutely don’t have to be Greek to join in, just be a lover of all things Hellas!
