The Mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas and Elliniki Etairia – Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage, hosted a reception at the City Hall on April 10, on the occasion of the International Conference “Connecting Civil Society for Cultural Heritage“, organised by the Athens Heritage Hub, in Athens.
Special reference was made to the role of local authorities in supporting civil society to address environmental priorities through cultural heritage activities. As Haris Doukas stated: “Civil society is our natural ally to create a new path for growth and sustainable development in cities.”
During the reception, Europa Nostra, Elliniki Etairia and the Municipality of Athens renewed their cooperation for the operation and support of the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Athens. As demonstrated by the Athens Conference, such partnerships reinforcing the role of regional Hubs are essential to continue fostering sustainable development, community engagement, and the safeguarding of our shared cultural heritage.
