A.R.T. - Africa Renaissance Time is an association that promotes the support and the accompaniment of the Africans in their aspirations to a civil and economic rebirth, in the perspective of generating an endogenous, self-determined and sustainable development.

Commissioned by the regional government of Lombardy for the hospitality sector, the project  aims to examine and change the dynamics which currently govern the  process  leading from education and professional training, through job application and recruitment to orientation and on-the-job training.

The project promotes a community regeneration model, which integrates advanced scientific & technological research with the utilization of  territory’s cultural and natural resources. It was born from the previous project GANTT (2003), which was concerned with broom-based products and showed that the critical stage of full automation, on which sustainability of the project depended, concerned  above all the retting and defibring phases and that delicate industrial research activities were needed which entailed a degree of risk with respect to the eventual project goals.

The project aims at creating new perspectives and offering new objectives for the development of the working and the entrepreneurial spheres within the Campania region, giving the women the responsibility to explore and experiment new links between art, craft ship and scientific research, to enable the working and entrepreneurial growth.
