Under the auspices of the Greek Embassy in Bern, the tribute of the association “Cultural Circle of Friends of Greece in Basel” took place on November 14, 2025, with the speaker being the vice-president of the Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism (SHP) and scientific curator of the Philhellenic Library of Parisianou Editions, Professor emeritus of the Dresden University of Technology Konstantinos Papailiou.<\/p>\n

In the auditorium of casts and antiquities of the University of Basel, after the introduction of Ms. Konstantina Boutsika, president of the association, and Professor Karl Reber, vice-president, the speaker presented lesser-known aspects of Swiss Philhellenism during the Greek Revolution of 1821. Specific emphasis was placed on the difficulties faced by the Philhellenes of the time, but also on their decisive contribution – in some cases even to the sacrifice of their own lives – in the struggle for Greek independence.<\/p>\n

A fruitful and lively discussion followed, while the event concluded with a reception and exchange of views in a particularly friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
