Diazoma
Diazoma
The DIAZOMA association was founded on the initiative of the former
Greek Minister of Culture Stavros Benos and brings together three
“families”: the archaeological community (archaeologists, curators,
conservators, etc.), Greek artists and intellectuals and local
authorities (mayors, regional administrations and citizens).
Our fundamental goal is to shape vast social networks of synergies
in order to protect and promote this unique category of monuments that
are the ancient theaters. To this end, Diazoma cooperates on an ongoing
basis with the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs as
well as with the Ministry of Culture and Sports and seeks to bring
together and engage all actors of Greek society (population, mayors,
prefects, universities, cultural associations) around this objective.
Raising awareness among the populations about the colossal cultural
heritage and the unique potential of ancient theaters for their regions,
having them participate in their preservation and revival, creating
cultural routes and archaeological parks, organizing cultural events,
enhancing the natural environment, adopting a charter of quality
involving all the local actors (from small producers to local tourist
companies), these are all steps to take towards the realization of the
ultimate vision of Diazoma : the sustainable development of regions around their cultural heritage.
As a result, theaters are at the heart of two key encounters: the one
with the people and the other with tourism economy, environment and
culture.
Our movement for the ancient theaters is getting stronger and richer each day.
The effectiveness of our work results from a solid and innovative
operational strategy. It is based, on the one hand, on studies involving
the greatest names in archeology but also on a comprehensive
documentation including publications, articles, documentaries,
presentations, etc.
We also implement three alternative modes of funding, namely
sponsorships, contributions from cities / regions and citizen
participation in response to DIAZOMA’s “Adopt an Ancient Theater”
invitation.
In addition, we develop programs inspired by original proposals from
our members and volunteers such as digital guided tours via mobile
phone, 3D representations of monuments, diversification of sponsorship,
etc.
Finally, absolute transparency in all administrative and financial transactions is Diazoma’s golden rule.
Our efforts have already borne significant fruits, as evidenced by the
progress of the works in no less than fifty-five ancient theaters. The
following synoptic table will provide you with information on this
progress: AT A GLANCE.
