The results of this analysis form the knowledge base for the entire project and guide all subsequent activities. Per Esempio also leads the implementation of activities in Italy, organising a series of local civic events that engage citizens, associations, public bodies and entrepreneurs in pathways of active participation, capacity building and intergenerational dialogue on the themes of inclusion and the digital and climate transition.
