It covers the period from month 18 to month 32 of MAZI. The report also presents the plans for the progress of the pilot study up to the end of MAZI in month 36. MAZI pilot study began in M15 and will continue to M36 of the project. The pilot study activities reported in this deliverable took place mainly in two villages in different areas of northern Greece; Kokkinopilos near Mount Olympus, and Tsepelovo in the Zagori national park region. Other work was undertaken by Napier in Edinburgh UK. There were two strands to this UK work; firstly developing demonstration exhibits for educational and outreach work, and secondly, developing a public workshop/hackathon format to introduce an interested public to the MAZI concepts. This latter work was carried out in preparation for the final pilot study activity, a MAZI cross-fertilisation event in the form of a festival, to take place in Edinburgh in October 2018, working together with unMonastery and other MAZI partners. This will be reported in version 3 of this deliverable series, D2.12. Version 1 of this deliverable (D2.10), covering the period up to M18 (June 2017) provides a description of the unMonastery and Napier project partners with a focus on their respective backgrounds, methods and approaches. This deliverable, version 2, provides a brief overview of the two partners. A brief description of the Pilot study context together with details of community stakeholders and other partners is also provided, further detail can be found in D2.10. 1.1 Key activities reported in the deliverable: • Test Lab activities carried out in Kokkinopilos village, Greece in summer 2017 • Test Lab activities focusing on the Tsepelovo village, in the Zagori national park region, Greece, in winter 2017 • Workshops and related activities in Edinburgh, UK. 1.2 Key findings emerging from the unMonastery pilot study work so far: • Defining methodologies and approaches for engaging with stakeholder communities, particularly in the early stages of the Test Lab process. • Developing appropriate communication links with the local setting and understanding the importance of allowing time for these to develop, working at a pace that is acceptable to the local context. • Ensuring that any technological responses are derived from within the context of the local situation rather than imposed from outside. • Ensuring that any activities developed from within the Test Lab are perceived as relevant to the local context, and that this approach does not prioritise the “digital, technological” over the “analogue, non- technological”.

Introduction This deliverable describes and updates the progress that has been made in the unMonastery pilot study from M18 to M32 of MAZI. This pilot study began in M15, so the previous deliverable presented the preparatory work that took place in order to support the core work of the pilot study which took place in the period covered by this report. This deliverable begins with a framing of the pilot study work in terms of the key MAZI concepts, set out in the DoW, of CONTACT, INFORMATION, DISCOURSE and KNOWLEDGE. The research is described in terms of its strategic goals, detailed objectives, key performance indicators, metrics, examples of positive outcomes, and examples of useful ways of measuring success. Similar descriptions have been undertaken by each pilot study in MAZI as a precursor to evaluation across the pilots. The report then describes the fieldwork undertaken by the unMonastery researchers in their respective locations in Greece during several Test Lab visits. Additional work carried out by Napier is also presented. In line with the evaluation approach of MAZI across the four pilot studies, in the conclusion we briefly report on progress by referring to the 6P’s (six principles of engaged research) (Holliman et al., 2017): 1. Preparedness: identifying local contexts, understanding of the challenges to be faced, the researchers’ preparations for dealing with these challenges. 2. Politics: understanding the local social and political contexts in which the research would be carried out. 3. People: identifying the people that will be involved or affected by the work: the researchers,
