Handbook on Renovating a Traditional Timber Roof
This handbook summarizes the process of repurposing the School’s roof through a double training program for young professionals, focusing on the traditional and sustainable practices that can be replicated in similar projects elsewhere. The creation of the handbook was supported by the INTBAU Grassroots Grants Programme.
The research and implementation of the works was a part of the project TSIATI

- Educational material
The manual aims to guide organisations and civil society groups who wish to actively engage in the efforts towards the conservation and transition of knowledge of the dry stone craft, assisting them with the planning and realisation of educational programmes in order to secure minimum educational and quality standards. The suggested methodology and structure take into account the particularities of the Greek territory and the conditions of isolation that are often in place, either due to insularity or mountainous terrain. It is therefore a programme that can be adjusted and realised anywhere, tapping into local techniques, knowledge, and craftsmanship.
The manual is the result of the research and practical implementation realised in 2025 by the Mitato of Amorgos, in collaboration with the Itinerant Workshop on the Traditional Building Crafts Boulouki and the Cultural and Environmental Association of Tinos “Ambassada”, in the context of the project “Allaximaria: Design and implementation of a standardised dry stone workshop”.

- Documentation
Since Boulouki has been working for years in Epirus, it has come close to the needs of local communities. In the framework of this project it aims at enhancing their livelihood and well-being by mapping ecosystems and the services they offer to the sustainable conservation of natural resources with the aim of social and economic well-being and delivering important information and skills for the management and sustainable development of the area focusing on biodiversity-related knowledge, agricultural, traditional livestock grazing practices, landscape and cultural values, traditional water infrastructures and related knowledge on sustainable use of natural resources.
