On Wednesday, the 10th of February 2016, the Ambassador of Israel in Cyprus, H.E. Yael Ravia-Zadok, visited the offices of Pafos2017 Organisation where she met with the Chairman of the Organisation, Dr. Christos Patsalides, the COO, Mrs. Marina Vryonidou, and the Artistic Director, Mrs. Georgia Doetzer. As the final countdown for 2017 has already started, the Organisation has entered the final phase of its preparations and invites everyone to get involved.
According to Pafos2017 Chairman, although Pafos is the first European Capital of Culture in the history of Cyprus, the smallest European Capital of Culture and the city with the smallest budget in the history of the Institution, it might be the big surprise as it promises to change the concept of cultural activities organised within the frame of the European Capital of Culture.
Pafos2017 is based on the concept of the Open Air Factory and the motto Linking Continents – Bridging Cultures, in an effort to unify the open air spaces of historical and cultural importance for Pafos with today’s areas of entertainment, to integrate and involve in its programme all locals, foreigners and tourists, as well as to link East and West. Taking into account the geographic position of Cyprus and its proximity to Israel, both the Ambassador and the Chairman and Directors of Pafos2017 agreed that they should take advantage of this important momentum and collaborate with the participation of artists from both countries in the Cultural programme of 2017.
As the Ambassador stated, Pafos2017 can become a platform to develop even further the links, the relations and the cooperation between Cyprus and Israel on the artistic level in future years. The Ambassador also reassured that she will support the Programme of Pafos2017 and on their behalf, the Chairman and the two Directors thanked the Ambassador for her interest and support and invited her to attend many of the events organised throughout both 2016 and 2017.
