This is a project for the “protection and enhancement of historic, artistic and cultural heritage” that aims to restore and enhance common goods, such as the “Borgo di Dio”, Trappeto (Pa) and return them to their own communities . The activities planned in “Borgo di Dio” aim to promote a revival of learning and art, as well as economic development through respect of the territory and collective history. The “Borgo di Dio” project consists of an integrated initiative that operates on multiple levels, which recalls the past of the place and at the same time looks towards the future, thus building the future of the territory and the population through local social, cultural and economic growth opportunities. The three pillars – personal empowerment – empowerment of ideas – territorial empowerment – identified in the three macro-goals will be transversal to the entire project, lasting 24 months. The project has three main phases in chronological order and a transversal phase.
