	C.i.A 02    Oropos II Oropos    Attica     19/7 - 03/8    Cult     18+     20 Vols
	LOCATION: Oropos village is divided in two areas the mountain village and the seaport village. The workcamp will 
	take place on the seaport village where an environmental workcamp was successfully organised last summer. 
	Oropos is situated in Viotia region, on the Southern Euboean Gulf, in Attica. 
	WORK: In the area of Oropos one of the main income resources is agriculture. As it happens in many parts of the 
	Europe in the last decades agricultural jobs are mainly performed by immigrants. In Oropos area live and work 
	many hundreds of immigrants (from India, Pakistan, Iraq, Albania etc). Even though immigrants are greatly 
	contributing to the local economy, they are practically excluded form social and cultural life. Based on our last 
	year’s experience we have decided that this year the aim of the workcamp will be to raise intercultural awareness 
	of the local population and support cultural interaction between locals and immigrants. Volunteers will work for the 
	organisation of a five-day intercultural festival. Volunteers will not only participate in the practical works of the 
	festival (construction etc) but also on the content as they will have the opportunity to organise activities and 
	workshops to be incorporated in the program. The local partner, hosting the project, decides on the priorities and the
	 co-ordination of the work. Volunteers will work 5 hours per day, 6 days per week. C.i.A. is not responsible for any 
	changes in the work.
	ACCOMMODATION: Volunteers will be hosted at a public school. Toilets, showers and cooking facilities are

	 "REVIVAL OF THE PAST"
	ELIX 01   AMVRAKIA I    ETOLOAKARNANIA    23/07 - 06/08    RENO / ENVI     10
	
	WORK: The old, traditional, stone made Primary school is an ornament for the village of Amvrakia. During the last 
	two years voluntary groups started renovation works in the precincts of the school (They relayed pebble, built 
	banquettes of stone and started removing the old plaster from the surface). In summer 2008, volunteers will 
	continue working in order to improve the old building and they are also going to contribute in the restoration, 
	renovation and conservation of traditional cobblestone pavements and terraces in different parts of the village.  
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the old Primary School. There are toilets, 
	showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the group, everyday in 
	shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for the preparation of 
	all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that will be bought for them from a big city, not 
	very close, called Thermo. 
	LOCATION: Amvrakia is a traditional, isolated village of Etoloakarnania, near the city of Thermo, a political and 
	religious centre during antiquity. The city of Thermo is 60 km away from the city of Messologgi and Amvrakia is 46
	 km from Agrinio, another big city of the area. During the past few years, former inhabitants of the village, who 
	have formed an association for its preservation, make strong efforts to find funds in order to save the old stone 
	made building, cobblestone pavements and squares. The small village has luxuriant vegetation, a beautiful 
	waterfall where volunteers will have the chance to swim, an old watermill in the bed of river Gidomandritis and very
	 hospitable villagers who await joyfully each year the groups of volunteers.
	TERMINAL: Athens International airport ‘’El. Venizelos’’/ Araxos (Patras’ airport) 
	
	NOTE: Volunteers should have in mind that the village is isolated and the access to and from it is quite difficult

	’PRESERVING ANCIENT FOOTPATHS’’
	ELIX 03   ANDROS I     CYCLADES   26/06 - 12/07   RENO / ENVI    15
	ELIX 04   ANDROS II    CYCLADES   13/07 - 29/07   RENO / ENVI    15
	ELIX 05   ANDROS III    CYCLADES   30/07 - 14/08   RENO / ENVI    15
	WORK: The municipality of Andros has an extended network of footpaths, spreading in a wide area, that have 
	been signalled and chart – mapped by the Cyclades prefecture and the Municipality. Local and tourists ramblers 
	often wander in this footpaths’ network for the extra reason that, due to the landscape, it is not possible, in most 
	cases, to create routes for vehicles. Volunteers will work under the guidance of locals in order to clean, conserve, 
	renew the signals and, generally, to highlight some of the most important footpaths of old times, which used to be 
	the main routes of communication among the villages and ports of the island. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in Chora’s (the capital of the island) High School. 
	There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the 
	group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for
	 the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide 
	themselves from stores around the area. 
	LOCATION: Andros is the northern island of the Cyclades complex, a little smaller than Naxos. Its surface covers 
	380 m2. The trip to the island from the port of Rafina (around 1 & 1/5 from Athens) lasts about 2 hours. Visitors 
	arrive at the port of Gavrio and need 36 km in order to reach the capital, Chora. Chora was built on a peninsula and
	 ends up in a small island, on which there is still a medieval fortress. This small island is separated from the 
	peninsula by a narrow sea strip, 2- 3 m wide and its communication to the land is achieved through a stone made 
	culvert. The central avenue of Chora leads to the sea and the large central square of the Back-room Macker, where
	 stands the homonymic statue, done by a famous sculptor, Michael Tombros. Chora is an aesthetically impressive
	 city and combines the beauties of the old city and its narrow stone made alleys, with the new city of imposing 
	stately homes, built during the previous century, while seafaring in the island reached its peak.

	important footpaths of the network. They will start cleaning the footpath E3 that connects Korthi and Chora, the 
	capital of the island, about 7 km long. They will continue by opening and putting signals of the footpath that 
	connects Moussionas – Petres – Tromarchia, 4 km long. They might proceed in cleaning the footpath that connects
	 the Convent of Panachrantos with Chora. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the High School of the village Ormos. There are

	LOCATION: The island ‘’not made by human hand’’, as characterised by the philosopher Cornelius Kastoriades, is 
	one of the North Cyclades. Its surface covers about 195 m2 and it is smaller than Naxos and Andros. The 
	Municipality of Exomvourgo has 35 villages, 30 of them are traditional and 5 onshore; covers the 2/3 of the island.
	 It is the less developed area concerning tourism on the island; it is a mainly agricultural and semi – mountainous 
	area, but it is the part of the island with the most beautiful sites, with inhabitants who like keeping traditions and 
	customs. The structured scenery, with the 30 traditional dorps, the dovecotes, the culverts, the fountains, the 
	mils, the small chapels, the museums and, also the unstructured scenery, with the granite bulges in Volax, Voliaka,
	 Livada, Polemos, Kambos, the coombs, the field-grassland, the beaches, the antiquities at Kionia (temple of 
	Posidon), at Exomvourgo (capital of the island during the Venetian rule), the Tower of the Maid and a large number 
	of other unexplored places and wonders, compose a site of great interest for the sight-seer tourist and a lovely and
	 sacred place for the local inhabitants. Both workcamps will take place in Steni, one of the most beautiful and 
	picturesque villages of the Municipality.

	Municipality of Exomvourgo has 35 villages, 30 of them are traditional and 5 onshore; covers the 2/3 of the island.
	 It is the less developed area concerning tourism on the island; it is a mainly agricultural and semi – mountainous 
	area, but it is the part of the island with the most beautiful sites, with inhabitants who like keeping traditions and 
	customs. The structured scenery, with the 30 traditional dorps, the dovecotes, the culverts, the fountains, the

	 Livada, Polemos, Kambos, the coombs, the field-grassland, the beaches, the antiquities at Kionia (temple of 
	Posidon), at Exomvourgo (capital of the island during the Venetian rule), the Tower of the Maid and a large number 
	of other unexplored places and wonders, compose a site of great interest for the sight-seer tourist and a lovely and
	 sacred place for the local inhabitants. Both workcamps will take place in Steni, one of the most beautiful and

	"PRESERVING ANCIENT FOOTPATHS"
	ELIX 11   TINOS III   14/10 - 30/10   RENO / ENVI   15
	
	WORK: The municipality of Exomvourgo has an extended network of footpaths, spreading in a wide area, that 
	have been signaled and chart – mapped by the Cyclades prefecture and the Municipality. Local and tourists 
	ramblers often wander in this footpaths’ network for the extra reason that, due to the landscape, it is not possible, 
	in most cases, to create routes for vehicles. Volunteers will mainly work in order to clean, open and renew the 
	signals of the most important footpaths of the network. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the Primary School of the village Falatado. 
	There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the 
	group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for
	 the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide 
	themselves from stores around the area.

	WORK: It is the second year in a row that ELIX cooperates with the Municipality of Kea. The island of Kea has a 
	long history in pedestrian courses, through its developed network of footpaths that goes back in the antiquity. 
	Many of these footpaths are already marked and signaled and offer to local and tourist ramblers the possibility to 
	get to know the island, walking through picturesque courses, where vehicles cannot approach. Volunteers will clean 
	the footpaths from the vegetation and they will renovate and signal, wherever needed. The areas where volunteers 
	are going to work will be chosen relatively to the needs for the places which are going to be used for the narrations 
	of fairy tales, during the Fairy Tales Festival. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the Primary School of Korissia, the port of the 
	island. There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of 
	the group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well 
	as for the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide 
	themselves from stores around the area. 
	LOCATION: Kea, resembling a water drop, is considered the natural bridge of communication of the mainland of 
	Greece with the Cyclades. Kea is one of the biggest Cycladic islands; the most western cycladic island and the 
	nearest to Attica (only 40 miles from Piraeus and 16 miles from Lavrion ports). The gulf of Saint Nikolaos, situated
	 at the north-west of the island, is one of the biggest natural harbours of the Mediterranean. Kea's history starts 
	from the prehistoric times. Kea is the home of 16 of the 1300 plants that grow only in Greece. The south-eastern 
	part of the island was included in the network of NATURA 2000. During the past few years, the island has great 
	tourist development, without losing its traditional colour. Each year, since 2002, the Festival of Fairy Tales is held 
	all around the island, on ancient footpaths, forests, beaches, archaeological sites, churches’ precincts and, 
	generally, places where people can gather, with different themes per year; this year’s theme is: ‘Dragons’ and the 
	festival will last from 12 – 20 of July. Through these activities, visitors take the chance to get to know the island, 
	its history, traditions, legends, and customs. 
	TERMINAL: Athens international airport ‘’El. Venizelos’’.
	NOTE: This project will be organised in cooperation with the Greek Council for Refugees and its Cultural Centre 
	"Pixida". Its aim is to connect people who, either themselves or members of their families, have been refugees 
	and, through an international workcamp, to encourage them share experiences and search the importance of 
	preserving cultural heritage.

	occupied mainly with the organization and preparation of the 2nd "Tzoumerka Art Festival" which will include music 
	concerts, performances, and photos exhibition. This is its second year and its duration will be five days. 
	Volunteers will help in practical arrangements like the preparation of the scene, guidance of visitors, tickets, etc. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the guest house of the Forest Village. Berths,

	bench and enjoy nature and a breath taking view.
	LOCATION: Kedros Dasiko Horio (forest village) is situated in Epirus, 90 km from the city of Arta that is the 
	capital of the prefecture. Kedros covers a 450 acres area, on 920m and has a beautiful view of a part of the 
	Tzoumerka Mountains. It is one of the six Forest Villages that the Ministry of Rural Development and Food has 
	created all around Greece. Each Forest Village has a manager who comes from the area where it is situated and, 
	for the time being, functions as a guest house and accommodates people who wish to reside in the forest for a 
	short time on grounds of recreation or of training. The Ministry, within the next years, is going to set up forest 
	villages in all forest clusters of Greece and thus create centres of development for mountainous areas of our 
	country, places of recreation and environmental training, resorts from the modern life stress, through a direct 
	contact with nature. Kedros is only 2 km far from Katarraktis (Waterfall) village, named after the two beautiful 
	waterfalls just above it; the perfect place to start exploring some of the most beautiful mountains of Greece.
	TERMINAL: Athens international airport ‘’El. Venizelos’’ / Thessaloniki international airport ‘’Macedonia’’ / IOANNINA

	WORK: Volunteers will complete the renovation of the Temple of Saint Athanasios, by removing the old plaster 
	from the walls. They will also start renovating the offices of the old Municipality that is now a Cultural Centre. 
	Restoring a traditional building to its previous splendor is very rewarding for the community and for the volunteers 
	who learn an important traditional technique and help preserve an important characteristic of this county. ELIX has 
	been running this program in almost all the villages of the area for almost 20 years. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in two different places: an old military guard house
	 (there are bank beds, toilets, showers with hot water and a kitchen) and an old stone made house of the village. 
	There are toilets, showers and cooking facilities but sleeping bags and carry mats will be needed. Two of the group,
	 everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for the 
	preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide themselves 
	from stores around the area. 
	LOCATION: The history of Mastorochoria villages goes back in the 16th century. Through agriculture and stock 
	breeding, important techniques of specialisation were developed. Unique craftsmen of stone, wood and 
	hagiography contributed to the development of a unique local culture. For more than three centuries, these 
	craftsmen travelled all around Greece and the Balkans. From the end of 19th century they risk overseas travels: 
	Egypt, Soudan, Aithiopia, Kongo, Tagkanika, Iran, Turkey, Russia, France and America. The craftsmen, organised 
	in groups, under strict, unwritten rules and hierarchy, travelled to different places, building several types of 
	bridges, schools, churches, mosques, hamams, stately houses, pearl barleys, mils and oil-presses. Those 
	craftsmen created Mastorochoria (villages of craftsmen), situated on Mountain Grammos, near the Albanian 
	borders. In all thirteen villages, life seems to have stopped, in comparison to the rapid changes of big towns 
	elsewhere. There are few inhabitants, especially during the winter, who still preserve the traditional way of life: 
	working the land and grazing sheep and goats. The area was once renowned, all over the world, for its stonemasons
	 and traditional architecture, based on stone structure.

	WORK: During the last few years, in Anatoli, efforts have been made so that the village revives. Within this 
	frame, ELIX cooperates for the first time with the Municipality of Lakeria, aiming to the conservation and 
	preservation of the local cultural heritage. Volunteers will work under the guidance of local artisans for the 
	renovation of old cobble stone pavements, which connect several neighborhoods, and for the conservation of an 
	old stone made fountain, in the center of the village.  
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the old Primary School of the village, which is 
	now a Cultural Centre.  There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are 
	necessary. Two of the group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation 
	place clean, as well as for the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that 
	they will provide themselves from stores around the area. 
	LOCATION: The Municipality of Lakeria is east to the Prefecture of Larissa. The fertile plain, the green mountain of
	 Kissavos and the artificial lakes of the area compose the geographical scenery of the Municipality. It is said in the
	 myth that it was there that god Appolo first saw the beautiful princess Koronida, daughter of king of Lakeria 
	Fleguias and from their marriage Asklipios was born, the first mythical doctor of Greeks. Anatoli is a picturesque 
	village, built on Kissavos, on 950m. The old name of the village, Selitsiani, was probably Slavic and must have 
	meant the small village. The dorp goes back to Byzantine times and was founded partly by Slavic farmers. Anatoli 
	has a wonderful climate and special fauna and flora. It is surrounded by thick forests with lammergeyers, firs and 
	planes, deers, rabbits, pheasants, etc. A tour around the area of Anatoli offers to the visitor, besides the natural 
	beauty, also a visit to important monuments, such as the Convent of Prodromos, founded in 1550, and the 
	churches of Saint Panteleimon and of Saint George, where today there is a museum with precious religious 
	heirlooms of the area.

	WORK: It is the first time that ELIX cooperates with the Municipality of Aghia. The aim is the preservation of 
	cultural heritage of the area. Volunteers will work under the guidance of local craftsmen for the renovation of old 
	cobble stoned pavements that connect several neighborhoods of Megalovrisso, as well as for the conservation of 
	an old stone made fountain in the center of the village. 
	ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in the old Primary School of the village.  There are
	 toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the group, 
	everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for the 
	preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide themselves 
	from stores around the area. 
	LOCATION: The municipality of Aghia is east to the Prefecture of Larissa. It is only 12 km. from the beach of 
	Aghiokambos and lies from mountain Kissavos until Mavrovouni. The area was developed during the 17th and 18th 
	century and the city of Aghia, capital of the Municipality, was built during the first years of the Turkish occupation.
	 The fertile lands, the rich production of cotton and silk, have been the main reasons for the development of 
	industry and commerce. The workcamp will be realized in the village Megalovrisso (old anme Nivoliani, meaning the
	 heavenly city in Slavic). The village is built on 660 m, on a flat land of mountain Kissavos. It has been 
	characterized as traditional dorp and the houses, built by local people and craftsmen from Epirus, are known for 
	their beauty, especially for their color. It is only 7 km. away from Aghia and 43 km. away from Larissa. It is not 
	known when the village was founded, but it must have been between 11th and 13th century. Its 438 inhabitants are
	 farmers, arboriculturists and stock breeders. The fountain "Messochori" is an ornament for the village, while 
	"Megali Vrissi" the source of water for the village recompenses the daring visitor (access by car or pedestrian in 1 
	km). The view from position "Karaouli", 200 m., outside the village, is breathtaking and offers immediate contact 
	with nature. From that spot, one can look at Agean Sea, the plain of Aghia, Mavrovouni, Mountain Pilion, the 
	Thessalic plain and, if the sky is clear, the Sporades islands complex and the Athos Peninsula.
