EVENT 1 takes place in Priverno and promotes sustainable tourism development; it involves 100 local and international participants during the Culture Week in honour of the Patron St. Thomas Aquineas, with the remarkable “Wine and Food Fair” and the exhibition of typical regional products coming from all the invited Countries. The theme of the conference is “Sustainable tourism development ” and debates, round tables, competitions for schools, seminars and cultural and entertaining events take place in order to transform the festival in honour of the Patron Saint in a large-scale cultural event able to valorise and promote the specificities of each territory. The target groups get aware of EU policies and of the concept of sustainable tourism and have the chance to exchange opinions also during brainstorming sessions.

EVENT 2 takes place another time in Priverno during the Medieval Festival, as it is an honour for Priverno to host 2 events during the Project lifecycle. The theme of the workshop faces “The challenge of sustainability, competitiveness and enhancement of local identity ” and is the perfect chance, for 100 local and international participants, to turn back time thanks to magical atmospheres evoking ancient local traditions. Debates, round tables, reflections and a conference on “Sustainable economic development and better quality of life ” rise participants’ consciousness about the vital importance to promote low environmental impact and respect of local features for improving local socio-economic well-being.

EVENT 3 in Andrychow is the ideal occasion to involve 140 participants and officialise SOC results. The main theme of this workshop is “Sustainable tourism for sustainable social inclusion ” and this event is the perfect match of sport activities and cultural ones. Furthermore, it presents the SOC results and, last but not least, at the end of the event 3 Project Partners can manifest interest to settle future participative action plans and participate in a New Network involving also new partners. At present, the working TEAM composed by experts of EU policies is developing specific strategies that will allow the creation of a new active European network where the joint commitment is to define the necessary tools and methodologies for the construction of an ever closer and united Europe.
