Historical Walks with Marilena Katsimi return on Voice of Greece with a special episode for Greek Independence Day | 25 Mar. 2024, 11:00

“Historical Walks”, ERT’s award-winning show, returns to the radio of Voice of Greece. Marilena Katsimi and her guests take you on a tour of Greece and the world, presenting topics from both contemporary history and the historicity of current issues.

The show, with speakers who are recognized scientists, attempts through the popularization of knowledge to contribute to the promotion and demystification of difficult and often deliberately forgotten historical topics and to promote public debate.

The show premieres on Monday, March 25th, with a two-hour tribute to the most important national holiday of Greece and two leading historians as guests.

With two leading historians as guests, the Rector of Panteion University Christina Koulouri, author of the book “Fustanelles ke Chlamydes” and the professor and director of the postgraduate course in Public History at the Open University, Charis Athanasiadis, editor of the collective volume “National Anniversaries”, we discuss the meaning of the anniversary and collective memory and listen to songs related to 1821.
