Yesterday, on the 14th of February, a momentous occasion unfolded as the Unesco Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage officially handed over the online platform e-Fikardou to the Fikardou community. The significance of this event was underscored by the presence of the Vice Rector of the Cyprus University of Technology / Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου (CUT), Dr. Nicolas Tsapatsoulis.
This #milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the concerted efforts to #preserve and showcase Fikardou’s rich #heritage. Thanks to initiatives led by the Digital Cultural Heritage lab at CUT, in #collaboration with the Fikardou’s #history is now #digitally documented for #future generations.
