It was held at Sparti, Greece, 8 – 11\/6\/2023. Aim of the forum was to demonstrate the recent trends and new developments of ancient Sparti and Laconia in the 21st century, to explore: (a) the wide-ranging application of Sparta beyond antiquity, for good and for ill, inside and outside of Europe, aesthetic and substantive, (b) the extent to which Sparta\u2019s reputation is deserved: whether Sparta\u2019s political organisation, laws and customs (in Greek nomoi) were in fact responsible for Sparta\u2019s success (and indeed eventual decline), and (c) how our understanding of the Spartan Constitution, and ancient politics in general, can impact on the theory and practice of modern politics.<\/p>\n
The final panel of the forum, to which AKTES contributed a presentation about the impacts of climate change on the coastal landscape of Laconia, opened the discussion on formulating strategy and policies to encourage Green Tourism and how the city of Sparti and Laconia, with its rich archaeological, historical, and cultural heritage, can act as a pioneer case study on how to deliver an eco\u2013friendly and cultural tourism agenda.<\/p>\n
