We want to catalyse the way we live, make community and approach social inclusion in the Vallagarina valley (Trentino, Italy). Since January 2019 we are working on designing, producing and selling fizzy drinks, focusing on participation in each step.

We are working closely with the physical place and its diverse communities, as well as many local and international partners, including a local farm, the Municipality and a UK network of fizzy drinks makers. The drinks production is a method to thrill people, cultivate relationships, stimulate local knowledge and increase the sense of belonging to Vallagarina.

If you want to find out more, please get in touch. We can respond in English, Spanish, German and French.
