“THE VENETIAN WALLS OF NICOSIA. Chandakas, Nicosia, Palmanova. A common ancestry” to the Cyprus Union of Greek Teachers (POED)

As part of Alpha Bank Group’s constant concerns on issues of Corporate Social Responsibility, particularly in matters of History, Art and Culture in general, Alpha Bank Cyprus has sponsored the production of the documentary film “THE VENETIAN WALLS OF NICOSIA – Chandakas, Nicosia, Palmanova – A common ancestry”, in association with the Cinematography Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Education. The film is a collaboration between the Cinematography Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Education and Anadysis Films Ltd, scripted and directed by Mrs Maro Theodosiadou with Mr Paschalis Papapetrou at Head of Production and Editing.

The Documentary was first screened during an event organized by Alpha Bank, with the assistance of the Research Unit of the Archaeology Department of the University of Cyprus, in a packed Events Hall at the University of Cyprus on the 1st of February 2011.

In continuation of this gesture and wishing to contribute to the education of younger generations as much as possible, Alpha Bank Cyprus has decided to offer this remarkable production to all the elementary schools in Cyprus.

In light of this, in an event that took part on Monday 12th March 2012 at Alpha Bank Head Office, and in association with Alpha Insurance, 500 DVD’s of the documentary “The Venetian Walls of NICOSIA – Chandakas, Nicosia, Palmanova – A common ancestry” were offered to the Cyprus Union of Greek Teachers (POED).

POED has pledged to distribute the DVDs to all junior schools in Cyprus with the aim of using them to educate children about the history of the Venetian walls of Nicosia but also in an effort to enrich schools with additional educational resources which will also serve as a reference for all teachers.
