Research in Apokoronas

Dr. Seán Damer, a senior sociologist and Research Fellow from the University of Edinburgh, is here in Apokoronas for a year doing a research project into the community of British migrants in the area. This community is of interest to him because it is one which grew up very quickly after about 2000. Seán is interested in why people came to this area in the first place, what they wanted to find, and if they have found it. He would like to talk to as many British people as possible about their experience of living in Apokoronas. If you are willing to help in this important research project, please contact Seán at: seannachai1@gmail. com, and he will make an arrangement to meet you at your convenience.   

A view from the road

The first of our Blogs from residents of Apokoronas.

Thanks to the cleaning team of Apokoronas for doing their work.

We are all citizens of our municipality. This means we have obligations and duties towards it. An obligation to keep it clean and safe. It is our duty to point out to the municipality all the dirt and mess, not just complain about it. With the help of the population, the cleaning team will be able to work more efficiently.

An example is that of  the Kournas road, cleaned the day after publication on Facebook combined with a visit to the town hall.

We hope that the new team will pass regularly (at least every two months) through all the villages to take note of what is needed (road signs, cleaning, cutting the grass….)

Thanks again. 

Anna
