Cittaslow is an organisation founded in Italy and inspired by the slow food movement. Cittaslow's goals include improving the quality of life in towns by slowing down its overall pace, especially in a city's use of spaces and the flow of life and traffic through them. Good living means having the opportunity of enjoying solutions and services that allow citizens to live their town in an easy and pleasant way. At present living and managing a Slowcity is just a particular way of carrying on an ordinary life-style rather than today’s trends. Of course this way is meant to be, less frantic, yelding and fast; but there is no doubt that it will be more human, environmentally correct and sensible for the present and future generations; the project will respect small realities in a more and more global connected world. In our Project; students will be able to be aware of the effects of slow living and also make them responsible&aware of their impact on society and environment. Our project will give students opportunities to develop green competencies&critical thinking on cittaslow with supporting students’ innovative&inspiring ideas.
