Ambassadors and diplomats from 18 countries recite Greek literature in support of the ‘Stay At Home’ campaign against the spread of coronavirus. The initiative is by the Greek Foreign Ministry and the relevant video (Part I) has been posted on the ministry’s Facebook page on Thursday.
An initiative of the ministry’s General Secretariat for Public Diplomacy, Religious and Consular Affairs, the first of a two-part video titled ‘We #stayhome and travel through literature‘, shows some of the ambassadors reciting Greek text, while others recite in their native language and a few recite in English.
All excerpts are the diplomats’ personal selections.
“Through the universality and timelessness of Greek literature, from Homer to the present day, they are sending their own message of international solidarity against the pandemic,” the General Secretariat said in a statement.
The second part is expected to be uploaded next week.
