DIAZOMA – Placing monuments at the centre of everyday life
The DIAZOMA Association was founded in 2008 with the mission to protect and promote Greece’s ancient theatres, integrate them into modern life and transform them into a vehicle for local and regional sustainable development. For the past 15 years, DIAZOMA has been acting as a catalyst to raise awareness and mobilize citizens and other bodies in restoring and socializing ancient monuments. Inspiring and guiding this noble effort is DIAZOMA President Mr Stavros Benos.
In recent years, the Association has been advocating the design of holistic programmes-cultural tourism products. They aim to preserve and restore ancient monuments, as well as connect them to prosperity and sustainable development. These programmes, Cultural Routes and Archaeological Parks, are implemented by utilizing the funding tools of National Strategic Reference Framework programmes and investing in a philosophy of synergies.
