During the event, international partners involved in the project and its main aims have been presented to the population of Fermignano, by also emphasising the importance of being selected by the European Commission among many proposals to be financed through the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). Eduardo Barberis explained that the project aims to build new models of participation through experiences, exchanges and experiments with the ambition to realise a handbook on integration to experiment initiatives and good practices. After the event, the mayor of Fermignano, Emanuele Feduzi, also commented on the project, by highlighting the enrichment that PISTE is bringing in a community that is already focusing a lot on diversity, as the long-lasting success of Popoli in Festa has shown.

Now in its fourth edition, the festival Popoli in Festa is the yearly initiative organised by the municipality of Fermignano to celebrate integration among people and cultures. The festival, that was held on the 25th and the 26th of June 2022, saw many meetings, performances and other events aiming at the creation of a fruitful ground for cultural exchanges and at the promotion of food, craftsmanship, music and dance traditions of people coming from Albania, Benin, Italy, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Pakistan and Ukraine. During the festival, Monica Scaramucci, Fermignano alderwoman with responsibilities on European Policies and Social Inclusion, and Othmane Yassine, city councillor of Fermignano, have also presented the PISTE project together with Alba Angelucci and Eduardo Barberis on behalf of the University of Urbino.
