"Origins"
Our story will be a kaleidoscopic and artistic presentation of the material evidence of the European values within the territory of our Site, in order to trace the European identity.
The formation of the city-state and the birth of democracy, the building and analysis of language structure, the cultivation of discourse and philosophy,
the centrality of political activity and the foundation of political thought,
the representation of natural world and human society in visual arts and even more in performing arts and drama, the scientific thought and research as born and developed in Ancient Greece comprise the DNA of the European thought and conscience.
The Acropolis and the surrounding archaeological sites were the scenery of events, initiatives and inventions that continue to be a source of learning for thousands of years and the material expression of the Greek contributions to intellectual history, the emphasis on logic and reasoning, an ordered universe or cosmos, the centrality of civic life, and human action rather than divine will as causation.
Our story aims to increase understanding of the shared history of Europe, focusing on values of pan-European nature: freedom of expression, democracy and the rule of law, citizenship and participation, scientific thought and human creativity that underpin European integration.
