AROGOS

AROGOS is a cultural organization (NGO) based in Preveza, Greece. It was registered in the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports Portal of the Cultural organizations in September 2017. We represent the interests of professionals involved in the management of cultural heritage and seek to improve the cooperation between all affected parties.

OBJECTIVES:
1) Promotion of cultural heritage and spiritual wealth in Greece;
2) Increasing the access to knowledge and education;
3) Development of alternative tourism;

Our mission is to familiarize the public with the history and value of cultural heritage. Through projects and events we want to revive, promote and offer an interpretation of the local cultural heritage. In addition, our innovative programs will create a sustainable economic and cultural environment for the benefit of the surrounding local population and society in general.

The purpose of AROGOS is to link research and innovation through the implementation of programs and cultural events at local, national and international level to achieve economic and cultural sustainability as a long term goal. Moreover, we aim to become a dynamic mechanism for the upgrading and sustainable development of the Local Authorities, through our cooperation with the civil society and by implementing innovative ideas for problem solving in modern cities. Another goal is to monitor, research and evaluate political and public questions, events and concepts related to culture and cultural products.

We believe that cultural heritage can be a key factor of development and can become a basic tool of success for improving the lives of the current and future generations. We look forward to long-term cultural and economic sustainability in low-growth areas through the promotion of cultural heritage to attract tourism and interested stakeholders to invest in the area. Finally, we expect to set over-time, the aims, objectives, specifications and actions that will help in the sustainable development of the tourism industry in Greece through the development of an organized cultural and tourism plan.
