The event includes a concert and a conference under the patronage of the Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis and the former Director-General of the UNESCO, Federico Mayor. Both personalities have contributed significantly in the development of the global movement for a culture of peace. The concert "Voices of a Culture of Peace" takes place on 18 th December and is organized by the Greek singer Maria Farantouri together with the German songwriter Konstantin Wecker and other personalities.

The conference will include interested participants from Europe, in particular from Greece and Germany, who are going to discuss items about current challenges in Europe for Greece on 19th December.
