The project in a few words
The Lead up! project is a 8-day training course organized by Associazione Kora in Passignano sul Trasimeno (Italy) in October 2022, which aims to empower participants, increase their leadership, mentoring and facilitation skills, and improve peer-to-peer learning in youth mobilities by enhancing the involvement of group leaders in the activities.

Hosting Organisation
Associazione Kora was founded in August 2015 to promote social and cultural awareness for its members (mainly youth) through outdoor life, socialisation opportunities, nutrition and sustainability. Kora is situated in Passignano sul Trasimeno in the educational farm “La Buona Terra”, where it collaborates with other entities who have their activities on the farm. Kora was founded to offer activities that neither the cooperative nor the agricultural company can carry out.
