The Foundation of the Hellenic World: Coordinator

The Foundation of the Hellenic World (FHW) is a privately funded not-for-profit cultural institution based in Athens. Its foundation was ratified in 1993 by unanimous vote of the Hellenic Parliament. FHW's mission is the preservation of Hellenic history and tradition, the creation of an awareness of the universal dimension of Hellenism and the promotion of its contribution to cultural evolution. Its aim is the understanding of the past as a point of reference for the formation of the present and future so that contemporary thought may once again be inspired by the Hellenic spirit. The principal objective is the dissemination of Hellenic culture and history in any way possible and through this the aim of the Foundation will be achieved. FHW's innovative character has already been revealed in its Statutes, one of which prescribes that the materialization of the objectives be based on the possibilities offered by new technologies. As a result, from the very beginning and at the same time as trying to find a place for the creation of the cultural centre, the Foundation's administration put the Internet to use and presented to the Greek and international community the first Greek web sites of historical content. At the same time, it created a pioneering laboratory of three-dimensional reconstructions, the first project of which, presented as a documentary, received the 1st Prize at the Amiens Festival of Archaeological Films. This was only the beginning in a series of programmes that were enriched or designed later, in the two new premises owned by the Foundation. Knowledge, creativity, and proper planning have contributed to the completion of programmes, whose content contributes to the achievement of FHW's aims. Analysing the Foundation's activities to date it becomes apparent that the administration builds on top of the initial idea.
