During the various activities of the association, a sensitivity towards active and embryonic disclosure was born during the editions of the "Picture of the Interior" Theater in Figurine, various stages and workshops were held: over time, the bases for a permanent reference point in Italy and Europe, the establishment of a structure whose purpose is to carry forward qualified initiatives concerning training.

Who is training for and how does the training take place?
Two levels of teaching must be distinguished.
The first concerns professional people who already have advanced personal training and operators who already work in various ways: shows, workshops, training;
the second includes young people who want to start by embarking on a structured training path on a professional basis.
In this phase the academy deals with the formation of the first type, through internships and laboratories with a short duration: from two to ten days.
In the near future, in order to tackle basic training, we will set up real annual courses with diversified classes per year.
