\"Scran,<\/a>

Scran, Tunnock’s & Tartan – a selection of Scottish favours for our Cypriot hosts<\/p><\/div>\n

Kato Drys, is a traditional Greek Cypriot Village at 650 metres in the foothills of the Troodos mountains. The village is a centre for teaching about sustainable rural development. It was a partner in the \u2018Leonardo da Vinci \u2013 Development of Innovation\u2019 project 2010-13 and is entitled a \u2018Green Village\u2019. During that project the Community Council, led by the Muhktari (Mayor) Nikos Vasiliou and European Officer Panayiota Demetriou, worked on the themes Empowering Communities<\/em>, Rural Food<\/em> and Wood Products<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Now in 2015, Kato Drys Community Council in partnership with Archnetwork (within the framework \u2018Erasmus Plus\u2019<\/em>) offer placements for education staff. Each placement revolves around a structured training course.\u00a0The themes of the course follow two basic strands, culture or nature.\"Flag<\/a><\/p>\n

Culture <\/strong><\/em>–\u00a0that’s where Scran fits in. \u00a0So we’ll be bringing you updates from our overseas expedition in the coming weeks. We’ll share what we learn here on\u00a0#Scranalogue<\/a>\u00a0and via Twitter\u00a0@Scranlife<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0keeping you posted on the finer things in life, such as pottery firings and lace making. Along with our colleagues from The National Trust for Scotland<\/a>,\u00a0Strathnaver Museum<\/a> & Caithness Horizons<\/a>\u00a0we’ll be visiting the\u00a0Turkish Cypriot State, in\u00a0Northern Cyprus and revealing some poignant Scran records related to the 1974 conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, follow us & find out what we get up. We are hoping our Tartan <\/a><\/strong>& Tunnock’s<\/strong> <\/a>favours survive the journey and our hosts enjoy a wee taste of Scotland.<\/p>\n
