Once thriving settlements, many of Epirus' villages have suffered from depopulation. However, today we are joined by 'High Mountains', a Social Cooperative Enterprise, committed to supporting local communities and enhancing the revitalization of mountainous areas.

Join us today as we learn more about the important work these guys do, encouraging people back to their villages and giving these places a more dynamic future.

Welcome to a new episode of Epirus Falls all about the environment. Today, we're traveling to the village of Kalohori, to speak to a representative from the action group Epirus Against Oil and Gas.

Stavros Zotos has become a representative for his local community, challenging such proposals, whilst also coming up with some pretty innovative ideas to bring life back to his village.

To learn more about and support Stavros' initiative to save his village, please go to the 'Reviving Kalohori' fundraising page. Donations are very much appreciated.

Have you ever wondered about the creative community here in Epirus? Well, on a recent trip to Ioannina, I came across a workshop in the centre of the city with a window full of puppets, toys and all sorts of creations.

In the latest episode of Epirus Falls, we talk to wood craftsman Paraskevas Tsikouras. He tells us all about his profession, how he makes ends meet and also offers some sage advise to anyone considering a similar career in woodcraft.
