The workshop will be held in Abruzzo, near the town of Morro D'Oro (TE), in the heart of the Vomano Valley. The participatory design and self-construction activity will have as its ultimate goal the creation of two different wooden artifacts. The first one will reconnect the paths among the Abruzzo olive groves to a spring historically used by villagers and for years, though functioning, fallen into disuse. The second structure will be a mobile installation, towed by tractor, serving the public activities hosted in the olive grove. Participants will work and be hosted by the charming oil mill Frantoio Montecchia (Frantoio Montecchia), that overlooks the land, a center not only of production but also a place open to the public for recreational and cultural activities.
