Through its engaging storytelling the Collio XR Project provides different approaches to understanding the Collio district. The UN 2030 Agenda themes are treated in 8 stories that focus on the three aspects of sustainable development (economic, social and ecological) in order to encourage the local community, the institutions, the public sector, private enterprises, farmers and wineries to operate in a manner consistent with the 17 UN objectives.
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a programme for people, the planet and shared prosperity, ratified in September 2015 by the 193 United Nations member states.
