Distances are annihilated when there is a genuine will to communicate

No matter how far we are, Miles and Soul and the DES Creative Writing and Illustration Workshop bring us closer!

Tilos is the island that will write its fairy tale with us this year. It is a true paradise that won the 2020 RESponsible Island award.*

We know his students and his story!

At this point, children’s imagination creates heroes and gives flesh and bones to the dwarf elephants!

Do you know how they lived in Tilos?

Let us do a historical review together…

“The last elephant of Europe arrived at Tilos by swimming from Asia Minor or Kos or Nisyros. There, he was isolated and became a dwarf, as happens with other elephants that live in isolated parts of the world, in Japan, Indonesia, California, or with deer in the Mediterranean and hippos in Cyprus”, explained Mr Theodorou, who participates in the excavations. In the cave since the 1980s.

* The award recognises the island’s innovative energy solutions and contribution to a sustainable, climate-friendly Europe.
