Pro Loco Esino Lario It has expressed its support September 2013. Pro Loco will be partner of the event and it will directly promote activities and initiatives in Esino Lario. It will have a key role in managing volunteers and in taking care of some of the tasks necessary to implement the event in Esino Lario. Pro Loco are local associations meant to manage events. The involvement of Pro Loco Esino Lario is a great advantage for the event because of its experience and because of the specific legislative advantages local Pro Loco have. A meeting between Pro Loco and Wikimedia Italia is necessary to define a partnership agreement, but in general we already envision the role of Pro Loco Esino Lario as following
  • being the organizer of the event in Esino Lario
  • managing the smaller reimbursements for the accommodation
  • managing the tensile structure and the coffee breaks
  • managing the necessary licenses (siae); Pro Loco have a specific less expensive fee.
  • facilitating the involvement of volunteers.
