Workshops

A total of 5 Workshops will be organised during the duration of the project.
Workshops represent a moment of direct confrontation between the players involved in the project and an instrument for spreading and debating the issues arisen in the course of the activities of the MOs.
The Workshops also intend to promote a confrontation on methods for localdevelopment undertaken by different territorial areas (local, national, international) both in terms of diffusion of best practices and of know-how emerging from real experiences.

The spreading of knowledge regarding specific issues (i.e. financial system, logistics) coming from real experiences is based upon the construction of local, but also international comparative case studies in order to illustrate modalities (strategies, instruments, players involved) that gave birth to relevant or successful experiences with regard to economic and occupational growth.
The workshops will allow to identify a table of variables of best practices and critical levers that are considered fundamental and useful as multipliers in other areas relevant for the partners of this project.
