The Trustees have decided to focus the efforts of the Foundation during next few years on education. We are continuing our work to establish and promote The Accademia di Gastronomia I Ciacca, which is developing short courses in gastronomy for schools as well as training in growing food for children & disabled young adults. Gastronomy encompasses the complete journey of food from the field to the market to the table, incorporating studies in agriculture & the environment, trade & the market place, anthropology, culture, traditions and society. We are currently in discussions with other charitable organisations to collaborate with new initiatives to create Arts based Accademie di Arte e Musica with the intention of assisting young people to learn and develop their own artistic and musical skills by creating workshops in the Borgo & providing them with creative and performance spaces
