StSicily aims at sustainable development, aiming to improve the condition of local businesses and creating synergies with foreign universities and students from all over the world. This year we have created two-level internships, second-level interns have gained specific experiences and in the companies they work with they act as team leaders ».

Vito Rizzo, mayor of Balestrate: «Initiatives such as Internship camp have the merit of enhancing our natural attractors, making Balestrate known but not only: also a corner of western Sicily, the Gulf of Castellammare, a tourist channel to be promoted abroad. An initiative to share and enhance “.

For our part, we build a new way of training in synergy with mainly French universities. We can become partners of young people who want to do research and development throughout Europe ».

Anna Torres, Marine D-Marina di Balestrate: «The contribution of foreign students in recreational boating is useful for us to create and deepen different markets, first of all the French one.
