Humacapiact organized a dedicated space at Open011 - Casa della Mobilità Giovanile e dell'Intercultura del Comune di Torino, which served both as the accommodation and as a collaborative space for various activities. This venue provided an ideal setting for group work, educational sessions, and informal discussions.

It was designed to foster a dynamic environment where participants could engage in productive dialogue, share experiences, and collaborate on projects, while also benefiting from comfortable accommodations. The space was thoughtfully arranged to facilitate both focused work and social interactions, creating a perfect balance for the exchange of ideas and the development of new teaching 3 strategies.

The versatility of the location ensured that the mobility program was not only enriching but also conducive to learning in a collaborative, multicultural atmosphere.

During the mobility, participants had the opportunity to engage in various workshops, cultural visits, and excursions, which enhanced their understanding of ICT tools in teaching while fostering deeper connections between the participating countries. The program combined professional development with cultural enrichment, offering a holistic experience. An important element of the program was the official visit to Turin’s reception and tourism authority, where participants gained insight into how local institutions support cultural promotion and tourism. This meeting provided valuable context for participants to understand the connection between education, community, and local cultural development, highlighting how institutions can collaborate on initiatives to foster cultural awareness.

An important part of the program included cultural immersion, as an exploration of Turin's historic city center, where participants discovered the city’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. This tour provided a unique opportunity to learn about Turin’s history as Italy’s first capital, and the group gained insight into how this legacy shaped the city’s modern identity and its role in Italian unification.
Participants visited iconic landmark and took a day trip to Milan, where they explored historical sites like Castello Sforzesco and the Duomo. These excursions offered opportunities for participants to experience Italy’s rich history, culture, and architecture while strengthening bonds within the group.

The mobility in Turin offered a rich array of activities, designed to build both professional knowledge and intercultural understanding. A major focus of the program was introducing participants to innovative ways of integrating ICT into creative activities for the classroom. Participants explored various digital tools that could enhance student engagement and support creative, interactive teaching methods. Workshops focused on using ICT for designing virtual environments, developing digital storytelling projects, and facilitating collaborative learning through technology. One of the unique aspects of this mobility was the workshop dedicated to creating digital ID cards for each country, using ICT tools to design a Rainbow Village concept. This imaginative activity allowed participants to explore global citizenship, cultural identity, and community-building through digital platforms.

Another key highlight was the International Night, where participants showcased their cultures through food, music, and performances, celebrating diversity and fostering a sense of global unity. On the final day, the group engaged with a Participation Certificate Ceremony, where certificates were awarded to all participants in recognition of their involvement.

The Mobility in Turin successfully met its objectives of providing professional development in ICT use for creative activities, while also promoting intercultural dialogue and collaboration. The combination of hands-on training, cultural experiences, and networking opportunities enabled participants to enhance their teaching methods, explore innovative uses of ICT, and foster lasting international relationships. Moving forward, the participating institutions are eager to continue this collaboration, applying the knowledge gained to their respective educational contexts. The mobility has not only broadened the participants’ professional horizons but also deepened their appreciation for the value of cross-cultural exchange in education.
