Through its activities ACR+ has been in touch with many practitioners, representatives of public authorities, businesses and so on and clearly spotted a need for capacity building, especially within public authorities. A practical approach, going beyond online modules, is required. On-site training has proved to be particularly effective to grasp what's behind circular economy, especially when coupled with site visits and networking activities.
This is exactly what ACR+ and Venice International University are offering with their summer training course on circular economy: keynotes, lectures but also a field visit to Contarina (a front runner), open discussions and exchanges of experiences with high-level experts, etc.
