MP Kostis Efstathiou will travel to Barcelona tomorrow to represent the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) at the annual Conference and Award Ceremony for the Council of Europe Museum Award, between 3 and 6 May 2023 at the Historical Museum in Barcelona.
During the Conference, Mr Efstathiou will speak about the importance and scope of the Council of Europe Museum Award.
The Council of Europe Museum Award was established in 1977 and is awarded to museums that promote the principles of democracy, the rule of law and human rights. At the same time, intercultural dialogue, the cultivation of European identity and collective memory as well as respect for diversity are additional criteria that the jury takes into account when evaluating the relevant nominations. This year's prize has been awarded to the Copenhagen Workers' Museum.
