INTERNATIONAL PAVILIONS
The International Zone will have as its main purpose the free exchange of the socio-cultural experiences of the different nations.
The international pavilions will be a permanent education center and will be organized in such a way as to foster a deep and real union of nations, despite their diversity. For this to be possible, it is necessary for children to be accustomed, from an early age, not only to the ideas themselves, but also to put them into practice.
The ideal would be that each nation, having a well-defined culture, had a pavilion representative of that culture, constructed in such a way as to best express the characteristics of the country and of which the most representative products, both natural and manufactured, will be exhibited up to highest expression of his intellectual, artistic and ethical genius. Each nation would thus have a practical and concrete interest in this cultural synthesis and could collaborate in the work by taking on the burden of the pavilion that represents it.
A space will be provided to house the students of the same nation who, while enjoying the culture of their country, will have the opportunity to learn about other cultures, so international teaching will not only be theoretical, but practical in all the details of existence.
Free exchange of experiences
Deep and real union of nations, despite their diversity
The International Zone will group the administrative offices and support craft workshops necessary to the needs of the estate and its exchanges with the outside, since in the Ecovillage of the Centro San Cresci the production of renewable energies is foreseen which will allow it to be energetically and biologically self. A green belt will always surround the estate which includes the farm, individual houses, orchards, nurseries and farms, where biodynamic culture, permaculture and poultry farming will prevail. The environmental consequences of growth will be closely monitored and appropriate measures will be considered to reduce the impact.
The administrative and craft units will reserve space for children, bearing in mind that at Centro San Cresci, education must be integrated with the work of the inhabitants. For this reason there will also be spaces reserved for scientific and artisan research which will be very important for the Centro San Cresci.
Every productive activity, construction (farm, schools, houses, auditoriums, etc.), environmental development (forestation), or education is financially independent. The costs for the community services will be decided by the managing director of the Azienda Agricola San Cresci Srl Agricultural Company.
