Abstract
Greece and the Greek diaspora represent very dynamic contexts for language diversity in society and education. In a relatively short period of time, Greek society has been transformed by ongoing emigration and immigration waves to and from Greece. Currently, various culturally and linguistically diverse groups, such as immigrants, repatriates, Muslims, Roma and refugees constitute dynamic research fields and at the same time significant educational challenges. In the last decades, there has been an accumulated expertise in regard to these groups (mainly in reference to the Greek language) which remains to be discovered by an international audience.
