The KA2 Erasmus+ project- Promote Rural Heritage by Youth Workers goes back to
Moncalieri, this time for the second transnational meeting of the project.
During this meeting, the consortium aimed to check the evolution of the
project, by assessing logistical, financial, dissemination, quality and
participation related aspects. Representatives of all partners (Ser Joven,
Cantabruri, Joint, Diramarsi and GEYC) had 2 very intense days trying to both
think about what happened so far as well as plan future activities.
At the end of the TPM, learning materials for the next blended learning
mobility in Cantabria were drafted, the mobility's plan was discussed and the
selection approach was agreed upon.
The second part of the second day of the meeting was dedicated to coming into
contact with local entrepreneurs, so our team members got the chance to visit
the Munlab Clay museum in Cambiano, Torino, a place with over 20 years of
activity that has saved over 4.089+ kg of CO2 by using renewable energy
from clay, so a true gem when it comes to sustainable entrepreneurship and
rural heritage.
While having a guided tour around the premises and getting acquainted with the
history of the clay in the area, we also had a chance to find out about the
renaturalization practices of Munlab, which, after finishing exploiting a
site, makes sure they leave it as full of life and fertile as they found it.
Last part of the tour meant getting hands on experience, as we got to work
with clay, modeling it into a plate that had natural patterns (leaves used as
an imprint, white clay used for decorating).
You can see more about our experience in the pictures bellow.
