NEWMONT
Communicating another mountain
Communication about the mountains often tends to fall into simplified formulas that reflect and reinforce the most widespread stereotypes about Italian mountain areas. The course aims to provide useful tools to highlight clichés and inaccurate information about the mountains, with the intention of guiding vocabulary and audiovisual communication in order to enhance the complexity and the historical, environmental, and territorial specificity of our mountains.
The course includes a final certificate of participation.
Application deadline: 28 September 2026

The course, developed in collaboration with the editorial team of L’Altra Montagna, is aimed at journalists, tourism professionals, administrators, teachers, economic operators, and third-sector professionals interested in effective communication that respects the specific characteristics of mountain areas.
The course will be held mainly online during the month of November (2 hours of class on a weekly basis on Fridays from 18:00 to 20:00), with a final in-person round table in Trento on a date to be defined.
