The cultural foundation Routes of the Olive Tree is a Non-Governmental Organization for research, documentation, protection and Valorization of the Civilization of the olive tree. The Routes of the Olive Tree were inaugurated in 1998 as thematic cultural itineraries around the theme of the olive tree. They include local meetings with institutions and various events aiming at internationally promoting the history, gifts and civilization of this precious tree. The first experimental itineraries built bridges with the countries around the Mediterranean and with fellow travelers, friends and partners. Gradually a Euromediterranean network was built, leading to the creation of the Cultural Foundation of the same name, seated in Greece. Mr. Giorgos Karabatos, initiator and leader of the Routes of the Olive Tree, has reintroduced long forgotten concepts and values such as spontaneity, laborious vision and cultural diplomacy. The Cultural Foundation "Routes of the Olive Tree" firmly believes that the best possible wrapping of a product is the culture and traditions linked to it. In this regard, it also visits non olive oil producing countries, its members acting as representatives of institutions and civil society, accompanied by friends of the olive tree and the motorcycle, scientists, researchers, craftsmen, farmers and artists from all the Mediterranean countries. == Activities == Among the most active organizations on the field, the Routes of the Olive Tree have crossed more than 25 countries and have covered 130.000 kilometers of intercultural dialogue bearing “olive branches and civilization”. These successful itineraries include exhibitions, cultural and business meetings, social activities, conventions, contests, as well as research and publications around the history, the symbolism and cultivation of the olive tree and the nutritious value of its products. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Routes of the Olive Tree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
