On May 14, 2011, the executive committee convened, this time in front of the entrance to the stonemasons' school, under the Dalmatian sun.

For teaching purposes, the material used is limestone from quarries on Brač, and the work involves almost everything that can be made using stone, from sculptures to everyday objects.

Traditional technologies are nurtured by means of suitable hands-on application. When it comes to manual work, there is no "virtual" substitute for acquiring a real feel for a material.

Tonči Vlahovič (centre), director, was a congenial host and a participant at the extended meeting, at which the executive committee had plenty to discuss and also made preparations for the plenary meeting to be held in Vienna in September 2011.

In 2004, the EACD held its first plenary meeting on the island of Brač in Croatia. The more than 100-year-old stonemasons' school is directly beside the sea.

Preparation for the 4th block of training, during which the trainees pass, for the first time, through courses in Norway, Great Britain and France, led the EACD president to, among others, London, to the COATAC and to the Building Crafts College, where, in addition to stonemasons, carpenters are trained.

In the workshop of Lincoln's impressive cathedral, the EACD trainees will gain an insight into the work in the glass workshop. The plan is also to spend time studying the MAGNA CARTA which is kept in Lincoln.
