If your motto is “travel for good”, here you can choose which activity to partecipate it!

San Ferdinando is very sensitive to respect and care for places and tries to promote this type of culture starting from its own territory. In fact, its community, in addition to committing itself to keeping the country clean, is very active and has undertaken various good practices also presented at a European level (“Act-Now”). You decide which one to practice and/or support. Here you can do plogging (“ecowalk”) or you can choose to donate a tree to the community, plant it, dedicate it to someone and entrust it to one of the local children who will take care of it and update you on its growth (“mettiamo radici-1AlberoxSanFerdinando”). Or, again, contribute to the creation of urban green spaces by planting rare flowers or aromatic plants or native botanical species in the flower beds of the town making San Ferdinando greener (link “parkifyng the future”).

And if you also like ecological innovation with positive global effects….

Moreover the town is a perfect set for visionary and dreamlike photographic shots! In fact, the photo exhibition “Saluti da San Ferdinando” (“saluti da san ferdinando”) was selected by an international jury to partecipate in Countless Cities 2021, the Biennal of the Cities of the World (“countless cities”) of Farm Cultural Park (“farm cultural park”) of Favara in Sicily, one of the most important independent centers of widespread contemporary art in the world, also present in the Italian pavillon of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 (“biennale Venezia”)!
