L’ARTE DI PLASMARE IL METALLO (THE ART OF SHAPING METAL)
TRANSITION supported the innovators to focus
and clarify the idea, to define a strategy for implementing it and to find the relevant stakeholders in every related sector, from manufacturing
to vocational training.
iBattilastra (roughly translated as “I-metal-beaters”)
is an expansion toward a more socially aware
initiative of an existing activity not strictly focussed on social instances. The existing activity is a
workshop that fixes and renews old value cars.
The social innovation idea and potential “expansion” of the core business is to create a research
and training centre about old cars and their
renewal, with the aim of safeguarding the heritage of related knowledge at the risk of loss and to
innovate it with the most innovative techniques.
Additionally the centre will organise training courses for the youth, with a particular regard for
those neither enrolled nor employed, with medium-low education level and/or with issues related to cultural and social integration.
