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”.
