SUSTAINABLE PATHS IN AMVRAKIA I

The workcamp aims at the protection of the environment, the preservation of cultural heritage, and the enhancement of local sustainability. The Municipality of Thermos has a network of ancient footpaths, spreading in the mountain village of Amvrakia. These paths are widely used by locals, tourists as well as hitchhikers. By supporting the building of new paths, volunteers will help to facilitate local peoples transportation. Under the guidance of two local craftsmen who will be their supervisors, volunteers will help to clean parts of rural spaces where the danger of fire is high. Furthermore, they will clean, highlight, and preserve the ancient footpaths in and around the village, created by ELIX, volunteers and local partners during the previous workcamps. Volunteers will also help to clean the local system of water supply in order to ensure better quality for drinking water in the village. Volunteers will work for a maximum of 6 hours per day, with an early wake-up due to the hot sun.
