Cambio Via is a project funded by the PC Italia Francia Marittimo 2014-2020. It aims to promote an economic model for rural areas based on its social and environmental values; to enhance traditional products, places of production and connected itineraries, to favour their positioning on the markets; to relaunch local communities from a cultural, economic and social point of view, in order to guarantee the ecosystem value of quality local products and services.

The enhancement of the ancient routes of transhumance will favour the achievement of the set objectives, also thanks to the recognition of the civilization of transhumance as a UNESCO intangible heritage.

In this context, the international conference entitled “From transhumance to sheep farming schools” aims to build a network of subjects who, through the enhancement of traditional know-how, are able to bring pastoralism into the future trying to create a bridge between generations, so as not to lose the richness of the knowledge of the past and at the same time enrich it through innovation and dialogue, strongly representing and supporting the needs of the sector at European level.

Carla Lostrangio, from Euromontana, will be discussing the future of pastoralism in Europe and presenting some challenges, opportunities and recommendations.

The event will be held online from 09:15 to 17:00. You can consult the programme of the webinar and register by 6th October by filling this form.

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
