Abstract

The trends that have been witnessed over the last 15 years with regard to immigration to Greece are particularly strong and definitely without any historical evidence. These advancements have obviously changed Greece’s position on the geopolitical map, providing it a place in the host countries of immigrants, while it has historically been a country of expatriates. Interestingly, the intensification of migration flows, especially when combined with the expansion of the role of migration for the temporal changes of the population as a whole, name for an increase in the importance of migration as a demographic and social component as a whole. The Greek policies concerning the role of the tutor as a leader in multicultural environments are gathered, studied, and analyzed. Fragmentation of policies, which falls in line with the attempts to solve the problems of refugees, are key components. The most relevant effect of this circumstance is not limited to the economic and political implications of the lives of the first immigrants, but primarily to the negative prospects of a stable social integration and prosperity for their descendants, i.e., the second- and third-generation “immigrants,” who are invited—and often in the literal sense indigenous—to cope with this situation.
