The first crowdfunding campaign of Laboratorio del Cammino

We are pleased to launch the first crowdfunding campaign of Laboratorio del Cammino on FundandSeek.com. The money raised will be used to bring forward Laboratorio del Cammino’s social and cultural project and particularly to fund:

• an open exhibition that will take place in Turin (Italy) in October 2018. The exhibition will be the final event of a self-organised training project, the Summer School “Sicilia coast to coast”, a territorial walk that in August 2018 will bring a group of students and researchers to reflect upon and investigate territorial fragilities of Sicily by walking for ten days across the west side of the island, from Mazara del Vallo to Palermo, meeting researchers, local administrators and communities.
• a master thesis scholarship of 500 euros to be granted through open call that will be launched in the universities part of the Laboratorio del Cammino network. The thesis should be consistent with the aims of Laboratorio del Cammino (read the manifesto) and should use the walk as the main methodological approach of the thesis.
• a donation to a non-profit association of 500 euros based in Sicily, which will be chosen on the basis of its active involvement on raising the awareness of local communities towards the protection, promotion and enhancement of natural and environmental resources.
