Greek archaeologists in Coalition of Resistance speaking tour

Greek archaeologists are to speak at a series of Coalition of Resistance meetings also featuring screenings of the film ‘Can’t Pay, Won’t Pay‘ about the recent Trade Union delegation to Greece

Greek archaeologists Despina Koutsoumba and Fotios Georgiadis, from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Civil Servants Union, will be visiting the UK and speaking at three public meetings organised by the Coalition of Resistance. These meetings will also have a preview of the new film by Tansy Hoskins and Paul Hanes about the Coalition of Resistance / People’s Charter delegation to Greece.

Greek archaeological heritage is in danger. Greek government archaeological services are being devastated by austerity cuts. Hundreds of state-employed archaeologists are losing their jobs. Many more are facing salary cuts of a third or more.
