The challenging competition, which involved 17 classes of 9 High Schools on Tourism of the Veneto region, was specifically tailor-made on the themes of YouInHerit and involved  the students into activities of rediscovery of the traditional boating, typical of the river-lagoon area of Veneto, with the double aim to boost their curiosity and provide them with all the necessary information to evaluate a professional career, an occasion of amusement or a sport opportunity in this context, increasing at the same time a little bit more their knowledge about venetian traditional boating.
