We met Augusto Grinzi of Piam Onlus (Migrant Reception Integration Project), to find out how the project has evolved in recent months.
What has happened since last time we spoke?
Activities continued regularly, both within the reception facilities in rural areas and the management of related local development services.
What actions that you implemented during the project are still ongoing in any way?
All of them: the trattoria of Villa Quaglina, the Lago Stella park and the 8 Basso Monferrato tourist routes.
What action has had the largest impact?
The Trattoria in Villa Quaglina has regular activities, engaging migrant personnel and creating an economic turnover. Some cultural events open to all citizens have been held here, with good attendance.
