Heritage & Museums: Awards Ceremony 2020
This year we are celebrating the "European Days of Cultural Heritage" in an unprecedented spirit, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Ms. Mariya Gabriel, stated that "this year, in addition to events with physical attendance, the European Days of Cultural Heritage offer an excellent range of digital content from Europe's Cultural Reserve.
As known, the pandemic has disrupted the traditional way of working and acting in the field of Culture and has shown now more than ever how important the digital transformation of Cultural Heritage Institutions is. At the same time, Ms. Gabriel noted emphatically, based on this year's thematic title "European Days of Cultural Heritage and Education" that the future of Europe is digital, and that in order to preserve the memory of Europe's Cultural Heritage, experiences must be exchanged.
In this spirit, the Board of H&M, decided to participate this year in the cultural events of the common European Vision, with an online Awards Ceremony, a recognition event of the work performed by the Directors and Curators, "pillars" of our Greek Museums internationally.
The president of H&M, Heritage and Museums Athens, Paris, New York, Ms. Lila de Chaves-Chronopoulou with great pleasure invites you to the Online Awards Ceremony for three Directors and Curators in Greek Museums who have delivered a remarkable course in recent years in the field of Museums and Culture, with particular emphasis on their educational role.
The Βoard has decided to award the following: Sofia Peloponnessiou-Vasilakou Museologist, Curator of "Katakouzinou House"
Zanet Battinou Archaeologist, Director of the Jewish Museum of Greece
Costas Maniatopoulos Art Historian-Painter, Director of the "Museum & Library Stratis Eleftheriadis-Teriade "
The above award recipients, in addition to their knowledge, have exceeded the usual professional responsibilities of their position, with remarkable devotion and contribution to their museums, also through their personal free time. H&M, Heritage and Museums, is a non-profit organisation, under the supervision of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and its activities are based on cooperation and volunteering, with particular sensitivity to people with disabilities and culturally excluded groups in general, as well as the environment and tourism.
