Δελφοί – Delphi

The Oracle at Delphi was the most important oracle in the classical Greek world, and a major site for the worship of the god Apollo. People consulted the the sibyl or priestess of the oracle on everything from important matters of public policy to personal affairs. It was also there that every four years, from the 6th century BC, athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, one of the precursors of the Olympic Games.

The European Movement in Sussex Russian Society was joined by Lewes Links, an organisation which was set up in 1992 to forge links and to promote better understanding of central and eastern Europe. As countries in those areas opened to contacts with western Europen movment, Lewes Links aimed to involve Sussex Russian Society in creating and sustaining links with people and organisations in the eastern half of Europe.

In May some of the countries where these contacts had been built were welcomed into the European Union, and another two in January. Other countries still aspire to join, and the concept of a European movment goes well beyond the borders of the EU.
