The valorization of Meschio River had been selected as one of the most relevant priorities for the Municipality of Vittorio Veneto in the Strategic Recommendations 2021-2027 for Touristic Development of the City, the second Policy Instrument addressed by Local Flavours project. In this framework, the Local Flavours Action Plan set a specific action (2.1) entitled “valorizing the Meschio River as a touristic attractor”, connected with two related Sub-Actions: A) 2.1.1 Reinforce the cooperation among PAs and Enterprises for the valorisation of Meschio River and B) 2.1.2 Define and realize creativity-led initiatives for the valorisation of Meschio River.
The Municipality of Vittorio Veneto realized the Sub Action 2.1.2 by organizing a Hackathon (Enjoy Meschio Hackathon) from the 11th to the 13th of February 2022, during which more than 30 students, entrepreneurs, and citizens came up with ideas for the touristic development of the river, in connection with local enterprises. The initiative was financed with 4.000 euros by Alterevo Società Benefit Srl. The winning idea had been then founded with 6.000 euros by the Municipality of Vittorio Veneto and realized in May 2022, originating the project “Street Art Games”, located along the River Meschio (close to a Gym). Through the Youth Policies office and Informagiovani (Criciuma Youth Center), VVEN invested 6,000 euros (2000 more than planned) for equipping an area with "street games" designed by young "writers" and painted on the ground. Thanks to this initiative, children and young people are now able to use them as real games.
