On Friday,
November 7, 2014 the President of "DIAZOMA" Stavros
Benos met with Mr. Stefaan Poortman, Senior Director of
International Development & Partnerships in the Global
Heritage Fund,
http://www.globalheritagefund.org.
It is worth noting that the meeting was an initiative of
mr. Paul Geroulanos, former Minister of Culture and
long-standing friend and supporter of "DIAZOMA".
This meeting was extremely important, as it highlighted
the convergence of objectives and fields of activity
between the two bodies, the Global Heritage Fund and
DIAZOMA.
Possible areas of future cooperation between the two
organizations were also discussed. Mr. Benos informed
Mr. Poortman about two projects which are currently
being planned and implemented by DIAZOMA, i.e:
- the Program of
Cultural Itinerary in ancient theaters of Epirus
- the integrated program for the enhancement of the
Sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus - a global journey
from ancient to modern medicine.
Mr Benos firmly believes that the Global Heritage Fund
can have a significant contribution in expertise and
technology transfer, as well as the funding of present
and future DIAZOMA projects.
