The textile art of Geraki on the vertical loom was inscribed in the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece in 2019.

Geraki has become the focus of Gefyra (Bridge), a collaborative 3️⃣-year pilot program involving the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at SFU. Its aim is to catalog traditional woven arts in Geraki, and it is realized in collaboration with the Cultural Society of Geraki, which has promoted the study of the village’s past and the preservation of its cultural patrimony.

🇬🇷 Μήνυμα του Υφυπουργού Εξωτερικών κ. Γ. Κώτσηρα προς τον Απόδημο Ελληνισμό για την επέτειο της 28ης Οκτωβρίου.

Ελληνίδες και Έλληνες,
Αγαπητές συμπατριώτισσες, αγαπητοί συμπατριώτες,
Η σημερινή επέτειος του «ΟΧΙ» αποτελεί μια ημέρα μνήμης και υπερηφάνειας για τον ελληνικό λαό, ο οποίος την 28η Οκτωβρίου 1940 όρθωσε το ανάστημά του και με εθνική ομοψυχία και ενότητα αγωνίστηκε ενάντια στις δυνάμεις του Άξονα. Σήμερα τιμάμε όσους πολέμησαν και θυσιάστηκαν για την ελευθερία μας, γράφοντας μια από τις πιο ένδοξες σελίδες της νεότερης ελληνικής ιστορίας, το έπος του ’40, και προασπίζοντας τις θεμελιώδεις και διαχρονικές αξίες του Ελληνισμού, όπως η δημοκρατία, η ελευθερία, η ανεξαρτησία και η δικαιοσύνη.
Η διεθνής κρίσιμη και ρευστή περίοδος που διανύουμε καθιστά εξαιρετικά επίκαιρη την επέτειο της 28ης Οκτωβρίου, φέρνοντας στο προσκήνιο αυτές τις διαχρονικές και πανανθρώπινες αξίες που ενέπνευσαν τους προγόνους μας και εξακολουθούν να εμπνέουν τους Έλληνες απανταχού της γης. Σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ άλλοτε, καλούμαστε να αναδείξουμε από κοινού τα διαχρονικά μηνύματα της 28ης Οκτωβρίου, αυτά τα ιδεώδη και τις αξίες που αποτελούν τα σταθερά σημεία αναφοράς και την πυξίδα του Έθνους μας. Δεν είναι άλλωστε τυχαίο ότι ο Διάλογος, η Διπλωματία και η Δημοκρατία, λέξεις ελληνικής προέλευσης αλλά με οικουμενική σημασία, αποτελούν τις κατευθυντήριες αρχές της Ελλάδας στη θητεία της ως μη μόνιμου μέλους του Συμβουλίου Ασφαλείας του ΟΗΕ για την περίοδο 2025-2026.
Είμαστε υπερήφανοι για τους Έλληνες της Διασποράς που είναι αναμφισβήτητα οι καλύτεροι πρεσβευτές μας πέρα από τα σύνορα της μητέρας πατρίδας, καθώς όχι μόνον προβάλλουν τον Ελληνισμό ως κιβωτό οικουμενικών αξιών, αλλά και συμβάλλουν ουσιαστικά στην προάσπιση εθνικών συμφερόντων και στην προβολή της εικόνας της Ελλάδας διεθνώς.
Η ενδυνάμωση του ελληνικού στοιχείου ανά τον κόσμο καθώς και των δεσμών μας με τους Απόδημους αποτελεί για εμάς ζήτημα εθνικής προτεραιότητας. Με αυτό το όραμα, προχωρήσαμε στο Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών στη δημιουργία του Στρατηγικού Σχεδίου για τον Απόδημο Ελληνισμό 2024-2027, ενός ολοκληρωμένου σχεδίου για τους Έλληνες της διασποράς, με σαφή στοχοθεσία και δράσεις.
Αγαπητές συμπατριώτισσες, αγαπητοί συμπατριώτες,
Σε μια εποχή που οι προκλήσεις για την ειρήνη και την ασφάλεια είναι πολυδιάστατες και πιο πολύπλοκες από ποτέ, η Ελλάδα αποτελεί πυλώνα σταθερότητας, παραμένοντας πάντα πιστή στις αξίες για τις οποίες πολέμησαν και θυσίασαν τη ζωή τους οι ήρωες που τιμάμε στη σημερινή επέτειο της 28ης Οκτωβρίου. Σήμερα, καλούμαστε όλοι οι Έλληνες να προχωρήσουμε μπροστά, με εθνική ενότητα, δημιουργικότητα και αυτοπεποίθηση, για την επίτευξη των εθνικών μας στόχων και για έναν καλύτερο και πιο δίκαιο κόσμο για τις επόμενες γενιές.
Ζήτω η 28η Οκτωβρίου! Χρόνια πολλά σε όλες τις Ελληνίδες και σε όλους τους Έλληνες!

📻 Voice of Greece honors the OXI Day anniversary with Greek expatriates around the world🌍
Voice of Greece, ERT’s global radio station, will adjust its programming starting Sunday, October 27, to participate in and highlight the commemorative events of Greek expatriates through live connections with expatriate communities and Greek educational institutions around the world. Teachers, professors, students, and leaders of expatriate organizations will be featured on Voice of Greece, placing special emphasis on the anniversary while also stressing the importance of peace globally.

🕓 On Sunday, October 27, a special two-hour tribute will air at 16:00 (Athens time) in honor of October 28, 1940, detailing the events of that day. The voice of Kostas Stavropoulos, who informed radio listeners about the war’s developments, will be included, along with speeches by King George II and Ioannis Metaxas. The first hours of the war will be narrated through the perspectives of poets like Seferis, Vlahos, and Palaiologos. The experience of the war will be explored through poetry, alongside the inspiring voice of Sofia Vempo, who uplifted soldiers and the populace. The program will feature songs from 1940 as well as pieces from the collections “Axion Esti” and “Katakhnia.”

🎶 The program will kick off on Monday, October 28, 2024, with songs specifically written to honor the Greek Resistance against the occupier. Listeners can expect to hear lesser-known incidents from World War II related to maritime activities of the time, Greece’s involvement in the war, the bombing of the ship “ELLAS” in Piraeus by the Germans, and historical documents about the contributions of Greeks from Egypt to the Battle of El Alamein, all broadcast on Voice of Greece.

🎵 Throughout the program, Greek music will be tailored to reflect the day’s significance, serving as a tribute to the anti-fascist struggle of the peoples. Special tributes will feature the victory songs of 1940 with Sofia Vempo, rebetiko music during the occupation, traditional Greek songs from the war, and the partisan songs of Resistance fighters. For the first time, the poignant and timeless album “Albania,” performed by Marinella in 1973, will be presented in English.

📜 Special segments will explore how poets responded to the war, featuring moving poems by Giannis Ritsos, Nikiforos Vrettakos, Angelos Sikelianos, Odysseas Elytis, Kostas Varnalis, and others. They will depict moments of farewell at the trains, the struggles of the women of Epirus, heartbreaking letters from the front, the pain of mothers, the hope for victory, and the sweet anticipation of a brighter future.

🎨 Lastly, the Visual Arts will be included in the commemorative program of Voice of Greece through a special tribute to the “Degenerate Art” exhibition, which was held in Munich on July 19, 1937, showcasing the efforts of the National Socialist Party in Germany to align politics with aesthetics.

🎭The #Ancient #Theater of #Cassope opens to the public after 21 #centuries❗️❗️❗️ The theater at Cassope was built at the foot of the city’s #highest #hill, below the northwest acropolis. The choice of #orientation was not random; apart from the #performances, spectators could enjoy a #panoramic #view of the #Ambracian #Gulf, the #Ionian #Sea and the island of #Lefkada. The monument is still impressive, gradually revealing itself as one approaches the western side of the city. Its size and location highlighted its importance in public life while its structure fit harmoniously into the natural shape of the hill. 🤓Learn more at Greek News Agenda: https://www.greeknewsagenda.gr/the-ancient-theater-of-cassope-opens-to-the-public-after-21-centuries/
