A Hub for Knowledge Exchange
for Community Empowerment and Social Justice
Honouring local knowledge
We share the belief that the deep understanding people have on their own places, environments, and communities is essential for good science and good public policy.
Connecting local knowledge with specialised expertise
We translate among diverse stakeholders, sectors, and expertises to ensure fair and equitable access to information that affects local livelihoods.
Building climate and cultural resilience
We facilitate participatory action research, tools and trainings, which are meaningful for local communities and crucial for empowering them to build climate and cultural resilience.
Our history
DRACoI was registered as a non-profit in 2012. It is based in the Greek island of Ikaria, in the village of Katafygi, and at its heart lies a partnership between locals and scholars.
