This Island Innovation Ambassador webinar took place on May 6th and highlighted ways of making Crete an international training centre, with its people, nature, events and economy acting as an “amphitheatre”. All three speakers drew on real-world examples of empirical research on the island’s culture and traditions with the aim of not just a simple, theoretical introduction, but a substantial, experiential approach.
In this journey, history, geography and the Mediterranean island’s character were utilised to redefine Minoan culture as a thread of a contemporary Ariadne visiting the roots of humanity and, consequently, of “our being”.
