PRESS RELEASE, 18 June 2020 Educational seminar on the Vikos-Aoos Geopark as part of European Geoparks Week, Saturday 13 June 2020 The Vikos-Aoos Geopark, as a member of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, is taking part in \u00abEuropean Geoparks Week\u00bb by promoting and showcasing the region online, as well as organising an intensive geology seminar on the highlands of Mount Tymfi. In this context, and whilst taking all necessary precautions due to the coronavirus pandemic, students from the Konitsa Vocational Training Institute (D.I.E.K.), specialising in \u00abMountain Guides\u00bb, together with their trainers and colleagues from the Laboratory of Geography and Environmental Education at the University of Ioannina, took part in the geological seminar on the topic \u00abLimestones and Glaciers in the Tymfi Highlands\u00bb, which took place on Saturday 13 June 2020. The route followed was \u00abMikro Papigo \u2013 Astrakas mountain refuge \u2013 Drakolimni\u00bb. The 22 participants had the opportunity to learn about the region\u2019s unique geological history and, in particular, the geological phenomena that took place in the relatively recent past, by observing the \u00abevidence\u00bb visible in the area, such as the remnants of the activity of the most recent glaciers. The presentation on geology and geosites was given by Mr Panagiotis Paschos, PhD, Geologist at EAGME, Epirus Unit, and was supplemented with information on the wider natural environment by Mr Haritakis Papaioannou, Dr Biologist, EPIRUS SA. The knowledge gained by the participants from this seminar is invaluable. Through the geopark\u2019s methodical and successful initiatives, on the one hand, the first generation of-guides, who are expected to help provide visitors to the region with more comprehensive information, whilst, on the other hand, the educational material being produced for the first time by the University of Ioannina is being enriched in practice. The activities for the Vikos-Aoos Global Geopark are taking place as part of the collaboration between Epirus Development SA and the Region of Epirus. \u00abEuropean Geoparks Week\u00bb: Every June, all 74 UNESCO European Global Geoparks simultaneously organise a series of events to promote and showcase their regions. These activities always take place under a different theme and form part of the initiative now established as \u00abEuropean Geoparks Week\u00bb. 2020 has been a difficult year in many respects due to the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, bearing in mind that 2020 marks both the 20th anniversary of the founding of the European Geoparks Network and the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Vikos- Aoos Geopark, it was not possible for the geoparks to remain completely inactive. Consequently, the central theme for this year\u2019s European Geoparks Week is \u00abUNESCO Global Geoparks \u2013 Areas of Resilience\u00bb and, more specifically for Greece and Cyprus \u00abUNESCO Global Geoparks of Greece and Cyprus: Discover natural and cultural heritage sites safely\u00bb, highlighting the special value and the resilience of these areas to \u00abwithstand\u00bb serious disruptions, one of which is this year\u2019s coronavirus pandemic. In this context, all Geoparks have adapted to the current circumstances, and it was decided that the vast majority of all relevant activities would take place online, with a few exceptions, with the situation being assessed locally on a case-by-case basis, as was the case for this particular seminar in the Tymfi highlands. The relevant promotional material (video clips, posters, etc.) is already being produced. We hope that this will be followed by a new series of initiatives to introduce the public to the Vikos\u2013Aoos Global Geopark and raise public awareness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
