🏢 About the local organisation
Lisca Bianca is a no-profit associations with the aim of promoting social and work inclusion of
disadvantaged people. In 2016, the association recovered an historic sailing ship, called Lisca Bianca, with
the contribution of young people from the penal area, people with drug addiction and unaccompanied
foreign minors. Nowadays, the ship is used to carry on tourist sailing activities to support social initiatives.
In December 2018 it opens up a space called "Scalo 5B" to citizens, associations, artisans, within which
there is a shared social laboratory for working with wood and steel, where we want to repeat the activity of training on the job aimed at the most fragile people, and respond to the needs of the community by
embellishing and making public spaces accessible with wood and metal furnishings.
