How to develop new tourism-cultural proposals for the territory

Business model canvas for the tourism-cultural sector of Follonica and surroundings

In a few days Italian schools will ring the last bell of the academic year 2021/2022. A challenging year comes to an end amid sighs and future uncertainties, in which students and teachers found themselves sharing in-person classes and moments of educational focus.

Finally, Cultura REPublic was also able to propose in-person workshops after the experience of distance School-Work Alternation of the year 2020/2021. For the second consecutive year, Istituto Statale d’Istruzione Superiore of Follonica involved Cultura REPublic in the planning of Shool-Work Alternation for students of fifth classes.

Our School-Work Alternation’s aim is to teach students the use of some tools to create business models, in particular the BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS. A strategic management template used for developing new business models, created by Alexander Osterwalder. A graphic matrix with 9 thematic blocks describing the value proposition, infrastructure, clients and finances of a company or a product.
