European Projects
The Collodi Foundation has established cooperative relationships with numerous foreign institutes and institutions for significant, often lasting research on an international level. Since 2007, this has included European-level planning, participating in the European Commission’s calls for cultural and educational proposals. In this regard, the foundation has promoted projects for training children and adults, in which Pinocchio is the driving force for intercultural dialogue, intergenerational encounters, a new approach to learning in primary education, and the enhancement of innovative artistic activities.
More specifically, in recent years, the Collodi Foundation has been a partner or leader of the following projects:
