“Environment and Culture” is an annual campaign launched in 2008 by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. In the heart of this initiative lies the belief that the
notions of natural and cultural environment are intimately related, forming two facets of a single cause. Therefore, it wishes to establish a policy on a national level in order to inspire and stimulate their protection through a wide variety of cultural activities. Nature serves as a source of inspiration for artistic creations; in turn, art and cultural heritage can provide an incentive for raising awareness on the dangers that threaten our environment and, thus, for enhancing the quality of our lives. For years 2008-2009 the campaign explores the theme of “The Tree of Life”. The symbolism of the tree, rich and multifaceted, deeply rooted in the minds of people, combines myths and religious beliefs, traditions and philosophical ideas through different eras of Greek civilization: Prehistory, Ancient times, Byzantine period and Modern Greece. These four historical periods are seen as “four seasons”, each one adding new branches to the trunk of the tree’s narratives, depictions and symbolic values. Offering thematic educational activities and tours in archaeological sites, museums, monuments and art galleries in all over Greece, we address a double invitation: to celebrate the arrival of spring and to visit places not only interesting but also beautiful, where monuments harmoniously coexist with nature.
