A Memorable Evening of Sustainability and Culture at La Rocca in Passignano sul Trasimeno
On June 28th, we had the pleasure of hosting a highly successful dissemination event at the beautiful La Rocca in Passignano sul Trasimeno. This event was a key part of our efforts to promote the “Green Compass for Europe” project and to engage with the local community, as well as visitors from around the world.
Event Overview:
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Trasimeno, La Rocca provided the perfect setting for an evening that blended sustainability, culture, and community spirit. The event, organized in collaboration with the local tourism office, attracted over 60 participants, including foreign students from Perugia, local youth, families, and tourists.
Engaging Activities and Presentations:
The evening kicked off at 18:30, just as the day’s light began to soften, drawing in several by-passers who couldn’t resist the allure of the lake views and the vibrant atmosphere. We started with intercultural games, music, and dance activities designed to foster interaction among attendees. These activities set the tone for an evening of fun and learning, breaking down barriers and encouraging conversations among a diverse group of people.
One of the key moments of the event was our presentation on the “Green Compass for Europe” project. We took the audience through the entire project timeline, from the early stages of identifying best practices, to the exciting youth event held in Greece, the impactful Environmental Week, and the development of our final product—the City Compass app. The presentation was well-received, with many attendees expressing their interest in the project and the app.
Visual Impact and App Promotion:
To visually reinforce our message, we set up several pop-ups featuring the Green Compass, EU funding, Kora, and Erasmus+ logos. These displays not only added a professional touch to the event but also highlighted the support and collaboration that made the project possible.
Additionally, we provided QR codes for attendees to easily download the City Compass app. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants downloading the app on the spot and exploring its features.
Community Connection and Networking:
After the formal activities, the event concluded with a relaxed pizza gathering in the local town. This informal setting allowed for continued discussions, networking, and the forging of new connections among participants. It was a delightful end to an evening that perfectly combined education, entertainment, and community spirit.
Looking Ahead:
The success of this event underscores the importance of community engagement in promoting sustainability. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening so memorable. The positive feedback we received encourages us to continue our efforts in raising awareness about sustainable living and expanding the reach of the City Compass app.
As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering a culture of sustainability and look forward to hosting more events like this in the future. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
