It takes place between 1st-4th of October 2020, and is set in the stunning mountain town of Pettorano sul Gizio (AQ), home of the first Abruzzo Bear Smart Community that was created in 2015 and 45% of the profits from this dynamic learning experience will be re-invested in the conservation of Abruzzo’s endangered Marsican Bears.
