Description
The issue to be addressed is the need for a greater understanding of the importance of water and waterways (canals, rivers, ports, aqueducts) for Europe's cultural heritage and the re-appropriation and celebration of water-related infrastructure. The aim is to restore these places so that they can be enjoyed and appreciated by present and future generations. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the city's important cultural heritage.

Training during the activity
During the two weeks of the project, the participants will get to know the richness of the city of Padua from a cultural, social and environmental point of view. The theme of understanding the importance of water will be addressed from different theoretical and practical points of view and with cultural and workshop insights proposed by organisations operating in the city. In addition to practical moments, activities will be proposed in collaboration with some experts in order to create promotional material and as a symbol to leave at the end of the experience, with the help of an artist
