🌻STILL WALKING AFTER THE END OF THE CRESCENDO PROJECT!🌻
One of the major reasons we've received the E+ Best Practice Label is the focus of Crescendo on Action-Learning: working on actual, real projects (albeit small in size) stemming from participants' lives and professions.
We're glad to announce that, 5 months after the end of the Crescendo experience, some of them have grown roots and are sprouting their first leaves:
- the Circle of Wheat is (obviously, since it was already well-developed) progressing and expanding thanks (also) to the learnings from Crescendo;
- Samuel Proietti the "Clandestine Cook" has performed brilliantly with his traditional cuisine in one of Liberopensatore's E+ trainings, the ;
- Selvatica Cipriani 's project of a therapeutic vegetable garden has found a network of institutions and associations supporting a submission for funding (among those, the Comune di Perugia);
- Virginia Vanda Lupo 's project of Theatre Inside Farms has gone through another iteration, which unfortunately did not lead to the expected results yet it's still kickin'....and yes, our trainer Diego Teatrino Comodo is roaming the streets of Kazio (and we hope soon Umbria) with the Street Theatre show based on Crescendo-developed fairy tale "Una Semplice Storia d'Amore" (pun intended), and so on and so forth.
💪💪💪Guys and girls of Erasmus+ Crescendo, we're proud of you and in the next months we'll work with renewed vigor to designing a new and exciting training for !

It is with great happiness that we share the evaluation of the CRESCENDO PROJECT from the Erasmus+ INDIRE national agency.

🌻CRESCENDO received a final evaluation which is overwhelmingly positive with 84/100 points.
🏆On top of that, CRESCENDO received the BEST PRACTICE LABEL and as such will be promoted within the E+ world.
🎉All of this places the Crescendo project in a good position to receive further funding next year. We will all work hard in the next months to expand, extend, and improve Crescendo.
Stay tuned!
🙏A big thank you to all of those who put their effort and believed in this project!

At the same time, a festive occasion and at the same time an opportunity for our participants to practice the skills acquired during the training, as well as an opportunity to meet the local stakeholders like Perugia Municipal Consellor Lucia Maddoli, and Antonio Bartolini,, Vice-President of the Foundation for Agrarian Instruction of Perugia.
Thanks to all participants, trainers, and guests for a great day! 🙂

🧑‍🌾 OPENING FARMS TO CITIZENS?👨‍🌾 how to bring in new audiences: we will discuss this on Saturday 10 May in Perugia and present concrete examples.

📆Saturday 10 May in Perugia at the Sala della Fondazione S.Anna, V.le Roma 15. Free event with compulsory booking.

🌾𝐑𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐒: 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐒, 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒🌾
be it agriculture, tourism, catering or hospitality, those who live in Rural Areas like Umbria are painfully aware of the many problems that plague us. For example, the flight of young people and, with them, of the best energies.
💚 At the same time, we also know that people live better here and we are stubborn in wanting to 'bring work here', to create sustainable development opportunities for our area.
👉Learning to communicate in the right way can make a difference, individually and collectively. The experience of the Erasmus+ Crescendo training taught us a lot in this respect.
📆 We will talk about it at the event on Saturday 10 May at 9.30 a.m. in Perugia, at the Sala della Fondazione S. Anna (V.le Roma 15) around a sustainable aperitif with local products.
📌Reservation required, free event.

This is one of the big topics we will be talking about on 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟬 𝗠𝗮𝘆 in Perugia at the final meeting of the Erasmus+ Crescendo training for farmers and rural operators.
📌Being sustainable has nothing to do with recycling plastic! Being sustainable has to do with the way we live and work, with the contact we establish with nature, others and ourselves: we are sustainable when this relationship is based on what we deeply believe in, on our values. Training in sustainability then requires each of us to know our deepest values and to know how to communicate them.
📆We will discuss this with Crescendo trainers and participants on Saturday 10 May. Reservation required, free event.
