Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced the launch of eVivlio, a new educational platform developed by the Education Ministry, which offers a selection of literary works in audio format. The initiative, aimed at making literature more accessible to a wider audience, was revealed by the prime minister in a post on Facebook on Saturday.
In his message, Mitsotakis shared his personal preference for traditional printed books but acknowledged the changing landscape of how knowledge is consumed. “Times change, and the way we approach knowledge changes,” he said.
eVivlio provides full, unabridged audio versions of 20 literary works that are part of the school curriculum. The platform, which is not limited to students, is open to the general public, allowing anyone to explore these literary classics in a new format.
Mitsotakis emphasized that the audio recordings were made specifically for the platform with the contribution of renowned Greek artists, all participating on a nonprofit basis.
