SPRING SCHOOL "TASTE THE PLACE"

12th - 14th April 2023 - Verbania (VB)

THE SCHOOL

The Spring Food School is scientifically grounded in the work within the “Food, Place and Wellbeing” project conducted by Oxford Brookes University (UK), Università dell'Insubria (IT), Hertfordshire University (UK).

The project involved also Italian researchers belonging to Università del Piemonte Orientale (IT) and Università di Genova (IT).

The results of this research found a fertile echo among the researchers involved, from which emerged the need to construct a training course designed to provide methodological and interpretative tools useful for analysing the relationship between food festivals, well-being and cultural heritage.

In order to respond to the needs identified and shared among the project partners, the initiative intends to implement primarily a training-type activity, over the course of 3 days of stay and work in Verbania, including 2 days of training and 1 educational visit to the area and to the food festivals there. 

The SF School also expects students to carry out a final project work.

REGISTRATIONS AND FELLOWSHIPS

UP to 40 PLACES. In order to facilitate the inclusion of Italian and foreign participants, the organization has provided some grants consisting of free hospitality (B&B in shared room) in Verbania from 12th to 15th of April.

Participation FEE: € 100 - Registrations are open until March 24th.

A limited number of fellowships (up to a maximum of 20) will be assigned in priority order of arrival or indicated reasons. The request of the grant must be made by filling in the form downloadable at the link REGISTRATION and sent by March 24th 2023.

The beneficiaries of the SF School are students enrolled in master's degree and doctoral programmes from both Italy and abroad but also operators who want to deepen the topic.
