Confcommercio Taranto, the University of Foggia and the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (MArTA) are organizing 6 workshops to learn and give value to the traditional activities of fishing and mussel farming typical of the Taranto area thanks to FISH&CHIPS project, funded by Interreg V-A Greece-Italy Programme 2014-2020. The workshops, organized in collaboration with the Istituto Talassografico-CNR and the Association Officina Maremosso, have two different targets: operators, citizens, freelance professionals and tourist guides on the one hand and high-school students on the other hand.
The objective is to offer an experience aimed at exchanging knowledge on the activities linked to fishing, mussel farming and naval carpentry and, at the same time, at integrating and transmitting qualified knowledge about coastal and marine resources to the communities, in particular young people.
