Piliko has organised more than 7 major construction workshops in Greece and abroad. These were taught by, or co-organized with, established experts (or organisations) in earthen architecture aimed at teaching professionals (mainly engineers) techniques of building with natural materials. Several workshops have been offered to national and international students of the Technical University of Crete (T.U.C.), unemployed people and primary school pupils. In collaboration with T.U.C. and the Centre of Mediterranean Architecture (C.M.A.), Piliko has organized two more conferences in the past (2011 & 2013) with invited speakers from Greece and abroad, open to the general public. Within the field of research, Piliko has participated in various events and delivered research work. Piliko, open to networking, has set concrete links to: • Associazione Internazionale Citta della Terra Cruda (Italy); • Red PROTERRA, Ibero-American network of Earthen Architecture and Construction; • Technical University of Crete, School of Architecture
