Activity description

Through this program we will try to engage participants in different outdoor activities in order to promote healthier lifestyles and overall well-being, while discovering the local community. They will also be included in training sessions that will help them to be more informed about sustainable consumption. In this way participants will gain new skills and competences useful for their personal and social development. As a matter of fact, during the two weeks participants will have the opportunity to be involved in different types of activities, like: onsite activities in a local urban garden; study visits to local organisations specialised in urban gardening with the engagement of the local community and workshops. At the end of the second week there will also be the occasion to organise an event with the local community at one of the city's urban garden. In addition, participants will visit the city of Trento and its surroundings. More info: https://bit.ly/ProgettoEuropeoCUFL
