The PROJECT IDEA
►The “TRABOCCO” is a typical structure of the coastal area for fishing activities, characterized by a perfect integration with the environment.
► The “TRABORGO” mobile laboratory aims ideally at overcoming the gap between coastal and internal areas of the province.

Sevilla 2007 – Session “Daily Sustainable Practice” – March 23rd 2007
► The conceptual inspiration is the project of “LABORATORY for RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD” (by the architect Renzo Piano), a light cubical gazebo, divided in 4 thematic areas, for the sustainable recovery of districts and historical centres. In our project, this idea has been adjusted for environmental education purposes in small centres (less than 5.000 inhabitans).

Sevilla 2007 – Session “Daily Sustainable Practice” – March 23rd 2007
► INCREASE THE AWARENESS of local population towards environmental problems and study a model of sustainable development for the requalification of small historical centres (the concept of “borgo”);
► SPREAD GOOD PRACTICES, repeatable in identical and different districts, by means of mutual exchange actions among the areas involved during the project;
► PROMOTE THE RESTORATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE conditions in the small municipalities of the territory;
► SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES OF DEVELOPMENT AND NEW JOBS in internal areas through the recovery of local typical traditions and knowledges.

Direct RESULTS
12
Sevilla 2007 – Session “Daily Sustainable Practice” – March 23rd 2007
► A NEW APPROACH: The Mobile Laboratory offers citizens a more direct and integrated approach to the environmental issues by the mean of a qualified team of experts that are able to answer directly their questions and doubts;
► FLEXIBILITY:This structure can be easily adapted for many other educational initiatives, exhibitions and dissemination events for several targets (students, households, technicians etc);
► CONTINUITY: The promotion of more "sustainable" culture and lifestyle assures coherence and continuity of "Traborgo" project with the other initiatives that the Province of Chieti is carring out.
Points of STRENGHT

Sevilla 2007 – Session “Daily Sustainable Practice” – March 23rd 2007
The ideal space for environmental education is “out” of conference rooms and “inside” the ENVIRONMENT!
Information reach the citizens when the citizens can’t reach the information.
Experts for everyone!…But EVERYONE can be an EXPERT (in the Shop of Knowledge)
Something to TAKE HOME
