The Foundation of the Hellenic World participates with a kiosk in an exhibition organized by the Ministry of Press at the Zappeion Mansion from the beginning of June to the end of the Paralympics in September 2004. More specifically, for this period there is a Press Centre for those representatives of foreign media that were non accredited in the Organizational Committee of the Olympic Games “Athens 2004” (approximately 5,000), who were visiting Greece in order to record contemporary Greek reality.
