Festival Hellenika Programme 2012 Το Festival Hellenika γνωστό στην ευρύτερη παροικία σαν Ελληνικός Πολιτιστικός Μήνας είναι πλέον ένας ετήσιος δυναμικός θεσμός στα πολιτιστικά δρώμενα της Αδελαΐδας τα τελευταία 21 χρόνια. Κάθε χρόνο από τα τέλη Φεβρουαρίου μέχρι και τα μέσα Μαΐου το Νοτιοαυστραλιανό Συμβούλιο του Ελληνικού Πολιτιστικού Μήνα συντονίζει και παρουσιάζει μια σειρά εκδηλώσεων που στοχεύει την προώθηση και προβολή του ελληνικού πολιτισμού στο ευρύτερο ελληνοαυστραλιανό και αυστραλιανό πλαίσιο μέσω νέων καλλιτεχνών της Νότιας Αυστραλίας. Το Νοτιοαυστραλιανό Συμβούλιο του Ελληνικού Πολιτιστικού Μήνα, μέλη του οποίου αποτελούν παροικιακοί οργανισμοί, οργανώνει από το 1991 το Festival Hellenika, που κάθε χρόνο γίνεται όλο και πιο μεγάλο με περισσότερες και πιο ποικίλες εκδηλώσεις. Άτομα, οργανισμοί και ομάδες με τους ίδιους στόχους και παρόμοια οράματα μπορούν να συμβάλλουν και να συμμετάσχουν στο φεστιβάλ. Ελπίζουμε ότι με την παρουσία και την συμμετοχή το Festival Hellenika θα είναι επιτυχές και το 2012! Festival Hellenika is a dynamic event which has a twenty one year history in Adelaide dedicated to the development, promotion and celebration of Hellenic links in the Arts, and their exciting Australian manifestations. Formerly known as the Greek Cultural Month, it was established in 1991 with the assistance of the General Secretariat for Greeks Abroad. The Festival program is facilitated and coordinated by the SA Council for the Greek Cultural Month Inc. (SACGCM) which is comprised of members of local community organizations and administered by an elected executive council of their representatives. Membership and involvement is open to any organization or individual interested in exploring and celebrating Hellenic concepts or themes though the Arts. Furthermore through Festival Hellenika we aim to encourage a new appreciation of the spirit of Hellenism as we all provide opportunities for local artists interested in Hellenic connections to express themselves in a welcoming, open platform of arts and cultural activities. We hope that you too will be inspired to participate and celebrate Festival Hellenika with us! 1
