The Summer School will also pay attention to creating personelle (experts and citizens) on an integrated approach to FFR management with the participation at the community level of all the TG including citizens stakeholders will foster and strengthen social cohesion. The capacity building of a network of people that, coming from different cultural and educational background, will learn on how to contribute together to the protection of the territory from FFR, represents an innovative model of bottom-up approach to solving community problems.
