Synergies

The organization of the EcoMuseum is based on the synergies of state-run and local organizations, the inhabitants of Zagori and its visitors. This organizational model creates awareness and activates the entire community, promoting issues such as the safeguarding of the area’s cultural heritage and the protection of the environment.  The development of a communal identity necessitates the systemic analysis and processing of the past, the interpretation of the values others created before us and, finally, an introduction to the present and the social forces that will build the future.  Through the constant and active participation of the local community in the interpretation and reconstruction process, the EcoMuseum aims to develop the appropriate conditions that will lead to the area’s growth.
