The path toward a concrete and participatory ecological transition takes a new, important step forward at Savini S.r.l.
As part of the European Green Craft Up! project, which aims to strengthen the green skills of adult workers and their trainers, we conducted an in-house training session focused on the circular economy within the company and on circular education.
Following initial strategic discussions with our international partners — ilmiolavoro, WFS Bildung, and Kreishandwerkerschaft Region Karlsruhe — this new phase involved the direct participation of our employees in a series of educational activities focused on sustainability.
The activities were aimed at promoting sustainable practices both within and outside the workplace.
Gamification and Non-Formal Education for the Ecological Transition
The event was organized in close collaboration with Il Mio Futuro, a project partner based in Campli (Te).
Through participatory activities, simulations, gamification techniques, and non-formal education, employees were able to explore the principles of the circular economy within the company — not as theoretical concepts, but as tools that can be applied on a daily basis.
The goal of this program was twofold:
- Within the company: understanding how to further optimize the use of resources, reduce waste, and make the most of recycled materials throughout the entire production chain.
- Outside the company: promoting a culture of sustainability that employees can embrace in their everyday lives, becoming true green ambassadors in the community.
Savini S.r.l.’s Vision for Sustainability
For Savini S.r.l., this initiative is not a one-off event, but rather part of a long-term industrial vision. The integration of circular economy strategies into the company aligns perfectly with the concrete actions that have been carried out at the plant for years, such as:
- The use of 100% recycled wood panels in the production of bathroom furniture.
- Self-generation of clean energy through the company’s solar power system.
With the conclusion of this training session in Italy, the Green Craft Up! project demonstrates that Europe’s ecological transition can only be achieved by combining technological investments with the growth and development of human resources, drawing precisely on the experience and insights of workers over 50.
