Regarding the journey to Asia in 2008:
In 2008, European Year of Cross-cultural Dialogue, developing the large mass media effort in organizing the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing, a 10-member GP team carried out the road trip initiative Green Project in Asia: Athens to Beijing, from the silk roads to the energy roads. (www.greenproject2008.com). The team started out in Greece, passed through Turkey, George, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and wound up in China. Utilizing low CO2 emission vehicles, and mass transportation, 13,000 kilometers were covered in a period of five weeks, in a quest for modern routes of commercial energy (electricity and natural gas), not unlike those who followed the historical Silk Road. GP presentations in the capital cities of countries visited were accompanied by digital displays of artistic works of her contributors. Eighteen important installations of renewal energy sources were recorded along with 16 characteristic samples of traditional architecture, 7 of which are included in the list of UNESCOs World Heritage Sites. The trailblazing recordings consisted of 30,000 photographs and 40-hours of documentary videos. The initiative for Green Project in Asia attracted a huge amount of publicity, and was included in the international art festival Lato 2009 and the Athens Photo Festival of 2008 and 2009, as well as the World forum on Energy Regulation IV, 2009, while it is scheduled for presentation in Brussels, at the Anniart, 798 Art Zone in Beijing, at the EXPO in Shanghai at the Museum of Modern Art in Baku, and in the framework of the Festival de lImage Environnementale 2010 in Paris. The documentary is in the post-production phase, while the international publication of a large six-language album is being prepared. In light of the significant artistic and scientific works that were produced, the Green Project in Asia effected a tool of cross-cultural communication, seeking to contribute to the emergence of powerful energy bonds and to addressing common environmental concerns of the peoples along the route. Its worth noting that the European Union considers the creation of the so-called Southern Energy Corridor (a.k.a. Southern Corridor) for the transport of natural gas and electrical energy between Asia and Europe, to be of enormous geopolitical importance.
Regarding the 2010 journey to Africa in 2010:
Within the sphere of initiatives of the European Commission: The EU, Africa and China: Towards a trilateral dialogue and cooperation, and EU-Africa Energy Partnership, the Green Project (GP) will seek to exploit through mass media the 19th World Football Cup that is being organized in South Africa in 2010, with the realization of the Green Project in Africa: Cape Town Athens from the waterways to the energy routes (www.green-project.org).
This initiative, supported by public and private institutions, will materialize in the summer of 2010, International Year of Biodiversity, and will follow the migratory route of the Eleanor hawk (often referred to as the black robin of the Aegean) now threatened with extinction. The GP team will cover the 14,000 kilometers of African waterways along the Okavango, Zambezi and Nile rivers, as well as the lakes of Tanganyika, Malawi and Victoria, located in the countries of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Cypress and Greece. It will record about 50 major traditional and modern applications of optimal practical developments of renewal energy sources in local communities. Particular attention will be paid to works and initiatives by UNESCO, UNDP, the European Union, and international non-governmental organizations.
There is an open call for participation in Green Project in Africa: Cape Town Athens from the waterways to the energy routes. Please apply to: info@green-project.org
