With the museum educator of the A. G. Leventis Gallery, Theodora Demetriou.

‘As in the classic fairy tales, “The Promise of Zephyrus” teaches children, through an interesting adventure of a young princess and her friend, about the irreparable disasters that can be caused by the reckless exploitation of the environment for financial gain. The happy ending and the punishment of those who choose money over the preservation of ecological balance are an optimistic example to follow in the emerging literature for children.’
– Christos S. Zerefos, Academician.

The A. G. Leventis Gallery is offering an innovative programme for children (and adults too) inspired by the book Η Υπόσχεση του Ζέφυρου [The Promise of Zephyrus] by Natalia Nicolaides.

We will discover how a painting from the Collections of the A. G. Leventis Gallery can take us on a journey to the beautiful forest of the Kingdom of Zephyrus, together with the book’s two heroines, Alex and Nina. During the programme we will travel in the magical forest of Polychronis Lembesis and we will share our own experiences from nature! We will also learn about the unique and magical belladonna – it will be the starting point for us to consider the importance of plants and how they help us by providing us with oxygen and food and also have countless healing properties! At the end we will make our own unique works of art in Renoir’s Workshop.

‘The Promise of Zephyrus’ has been approved by the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. The book is available at the AGLG Shop.
