The project “Act locally towards a global change” was born thanks to the cooperation between public bodies and third sector organizations. The network of subjects that forms the local community represents a resource for the territory development and its projects. The project aims to engage youngsters in order to make them protagonists of a change that starts locally and will evolve on a global scale. The project idea tackles both the climate change and the migration flows, as they are interconnected and they can be understood only with a shared and complementary approach. This project wants to collect, give value and experiment sustainability practice s that are capable of recounting and protecting the local environment. At the same time, it desires to collect and discover new practices coming from distant areas, also thanks to migration flows. When the local and the global meet, they start up new pathways of contamination between different realities and cultures.
