International Student Competition
on Innovation and Branding in the Rural Areas

A student competition is an event between students or teams of students within a classroom, or across different schools and across geographical regions which compete for a prize.

The International Student Competition on Innovation and Branding in the Rural Areas is a week-long residential educational programme dedicated to the topic of innovation in rural areas.

Students are the protagonists and education, enjoyment, creativity and skills play a fundamental role.

Now, the most committed and motivated group of stakeholders, the Piceno Lab on Mediterranean Diet, is willing to carry on this collaboration, by hosting an international student competition to:

• allow a real-time advertising and promotion of the territory (through the use of ICT tools),

• let young people discover the enchantment of the region through experiential learning,

• test a new way of collaboration among stakeholders, promoting bottom-up private and public partnerships.

Courses and experiential learning activities will be held in different locations (historical theatres and buildings, wineries, agritourism facilities, etc.) in the surrounding of Fermo and around Marche Region.

An amazing experience!
The students will get a real experience of the territory through lectures, field visits and working groups on the main local activities and resources, such as:

• Manufacturing & Crafts

• Cultural Heritage

• Agrifood & Mediterranean Diet
