The project in a few words
Humans are inherently artistic and creative beings, gifted with the capacity to translate our thoughts, emotions, and experiences into expressive forms. Our journey as artistic creatures intertwines with nature, a boundless source of inspiration that has shaped cultures, fed imaginations, and provided the raw materials for countless artistic expressions. From the earliest cave paintings to contemporary eco-art, our connection with nature has been a wellspring of creativity, reflecting our profound interdependence with the planet.
‘nARTurals’ is a project that focuses on the relationship between the human being, our artistic spirit, and nature. By exploring different creative techniques based on using natural elements for creating materials, and immersing ourselves in a path of reconnection with nature and its transformative power, participants will acquire artistic and transversal skills, while strengthening their sustainable awareness.
In short, the aim of ‘nARTurals’ is to boost the creative and artistic aptitudes of its participants by unveiling the vast potentialities of nature and to support the development of individuals who, through their creative exploration, become more attuned to their role in safeguarding and preserving the delicate balance of our environment.

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.
