On May 2nd, during the 12th edition of “Planta, the Garden and Beyond, the EUROPE DIRECT Paesi Vesuviani center hosted an information booth titled “Europe Space: Erasmus+ Creates Networks” at the Botanical Garden of Naples. The event, which focuses on environmental protection, gardening, and biodiversity, features annual exhibitions and discussions centered on sustainability.
Specifically, this initiative was carried out in collaboration with EUROPE DIRECT Naples, the Erasmus+ Adult Education (AE) Ambassadors for the Campania region, and the Antonio Megalizzi Foundation. Together, they served as a key resource for a diverse audience, providing tailored information across their respective areas of expertise—ranging from projects for local territorial networks and continuing education programs for adults to educational activities designed for younger people.
The event served as a significant opportunity for engagement between European institutions and the public within an informal, open setting. A stand, set up along the paths of the Botanical Garden, provided a direct and accessible point of contact for all those attending the event.
The primary objective was to showcase the tangible opportunities offered by the European Union at the local level. In the case of the EUROPE DIRECT Paesi Vesuviani center, the focus was specifically on Erasmus+ programs for mobility, training, and learning. The initiative became an interactive space where visitors could explore Europe through hands-on participation; thanks to the contribution of our Civil Service volunteers, visitors were able to test their knowledge with themed quizzes, take part in engaging activities, and join in brief discussions—discovering just how much they truly knew about EU policies and the opportunities available.
