Ellanikaos - The Agora Project

The Agora Project

Reviving the heart of democratic discourse through digital reimagining, interactive history, and modern civic engagement.

Explore the Agora

The Heart of Democratic Thought

The Agora was the central hub of civic life in classical Athens, where citizens debated ideas, traded goods, and shaped the future of democracy. Today, the Ellanikaos Agora Project brings this iconic space to life through immersive digital experiences that blend historical fidelity with modern interactivity.

Using AI, VR, and blockchain, we create a platform where scholars, developers, and the public can engage with the past while designing participatory systems for the future.
