Helen also spoke about the new Migration Museum in Agia Pelagia. KAA president Emmanuel Alfieris presented a PowerPoint on the proposed Migration Memorial Statue and bench in Agia Pelagia, and requested feedback from Zoom participants on the location of the statue. The Zoomers unanimously and enthusiastically recommended the statue should be placed by the entry to the Agia Pelagia pier. In addition, participants also heard updates on the wind turbines; COVID-19 on Kythera; and Vana Argyris spoke about the Panhellenic International Theater Festival for Young People.
