PROJECTS
Among the most important projects that we have undertaken, is “Artigianando” 2005/2006, a workshop aimed at involving disabled people in different craftsman activities.
In 2006 we founded an “A.T.I” association for the running of a recreation area inside fabriano town park. In 2006 we also promoted the integration of disabled people in the 2006 town exhibition about “gentile da fabriano”.
Since 2007 our activities have considerably increased. We have recently restored an ancient medieval abbey in decline, Tenuta San Cassiano, which is now a bustling tourist attraction. Tenuta San Cassiano is also the location for weddings, meetings, and educational activities which highlight the historic importance of Marche. Inside the estate we have also created a free picnic area open to anyone who wants to enjoy their free time in Tenuta San Cassiano.
Furthermore, we have organised artistic workshops in collaboration with the schools and the educational institutions of our area. We have also organised hiking and mountain bike excursions in order to promote the discovery of the Marche Apennines. In 2008, we obtained the “Cohabitat” funds necessary to organise other workshops inside the estate.
Our cooperative has also won several prestigious awards. Among the most important is the prize “Impronta d’impresa” obtained in 2008 and promoted by the Chamber of Commerce of Ancona. We were awarded for being the most socially responsible company among the local companies mostly composed of women. In 2008 we also obtained the “Valore Lavoro” prize, promoted by the Marche Regionional Administration, for the quality of work and the company organization.
