00:06 Sodalitas Foundation, a reference partner for companies that consider sustainability a distinctive factor and integrate it in their business strategies,
00:16 is committed to affirm and make the company's leadership recognizable in carrying out sustainable development.
00:23 Based on these values, the Foundation has awarded the Italian municipalities that stand out on the front of sustainability
00:29 with projects for the development of the territories in line with the goals of the 2030 UN Agenda
00:34 through the eighth edition of the Cresco Award Contest, Sustainable Cities,
00:39 made in collaboration with ANCI, the Italian Municipal National Association,
00:43 with the sponsorship of the European Commission, the Ministry of the Environment, Energy Security and the CSR Europe.
00:50 During an event held in the context of the 40th Annual Assembly of ANCI at the Fiera di Genova,
00:56 to the Associates of the Winning Municipalities, a prize was awarded by an independent jury.
01:02 An eighth edition, therefore, has furtherly raised the great interest of the municipalities on the theme of sustainability.
01:09 Now, when we talk about municipalities, we talk about the 2030 Agenda, SDGs, that is, the goals to be achieved.
01:16 So there is an awareness that is growing every year, and we have seen that it has grown even in the eighth edition.
01:24 And the awareness of companies and territories that must work together to develop sustainability.
01:31 The companies are at least the big ones, all convinced.
01:34 We should also involve small and medium-sized companies and small municipalities,
01:40 because only in this way can sustainability be grown in the country.
01:44 Committed to the development of projects aimed at sustainability, also the municipality of Reggio Emilia,
01:48 which, like many other Italian municipalities, has awarded the eighth edition of the Cresco Award,
01:53 Sustainable Cities, for a city without barriers.
01:56 It is a very particular project that outlines an innovative approach to the issue of disability,
02:02 through the participation of hundreds of families and the co-design of initiatives, ideas, projects and services
02:09 that have led our city not only to address the issue of overcoming architectural barriers,
02:15 but also and above all to face in an unprecedented way very complex cultural barriers.
02:20 Nibbionno, a small Italian municipality of 3,668 inhabitants in the province of Lecco, won with the Nibbionno Bandel project,
02:27 in which the municipality addressed directly to the young people of the territory,
02:30 offering them opportunities to socialize through music.
02:33 A band was formed, consisting of boys between 12 and 25 years old,
02:37 which at the end of 13 meetings, held by an expert in the sector,
02:40 will be performed in front of an audience and will subsequently be involved in events organized by the municipal administration and local associations.
02:47 The effort to collaborate, to constantly grow together, to meet and aggregate young people,
02:54 who can also exchange pleasant impressions about musical genres
03:03 and grow together as a music group, as an aggregative group,
03:09 I thought it could be a winning recipe.
