Amico Albero

Summary of the project

The project aims at creating awareness among citizens (starting from the youth and their families) on the issue of climate change and spreading a more conscious and less impactful lifestyle on the environment, starting with one’s own community and the metropolitan city of origin. Furthermore, it foresees the increase of the number of plants planted in a public space made available by the Municipality thanks to the collaboration of local schools (kindergartens, elementary and middle schools) also involving them in a drawing competition and a flash mob as well as inviting young students to meetings and projections that favor the maturation of the environmental sensitivity of the participants.

Beneficiaries

• 1000 citizens
• 100 students of the secondary school
