Academics in Athens 

BLUE Acropolis?

20/11/2019

Athens Acropolis lights up blue
​Tonight the Parthenon temple (Acropolis) which stands in the Centre of Athens is illuminated a vibrant blue colour. The reason? To bring attention to UNICEF's World Children’s Day 2019. Today also coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the child.  Why the colour blue? Well that’s just the colour of UNICEF. Other famous landmarks around the world are also being lit up for this occasion including Petra in Jordan, European Parliament in Brussels, Shanghai Tower in China and the Pantheon in Paris. If you see anywhere else lit up in blue tonight we would love to hear.
