but living in well-being.
(Marco Valerio Marziale)
The ITS Blue Zone Foundation was born from the desire to preserve, enhance and promote the distinctive and attractive elements of the Blue Zone areas in a transversal perspective, including all identity assets.
The 5 Blue Zones in the world.
Ogliastra, SARDINIA
Sardinia is the only Italian region to host one of the five Blue Zones within this beautiful island.Â
Ikaria, GREECE
The island of Ikaria is part of Greece and is located in the central-eastern Aegean Sea. Like all of Greece, Icaria is also a place rich in history.
Okinawa, JAPAN
This blue zone is famous for enjoying the longest disability-free life expectancy in the world, so much so that in the Japanese legends it is called “The land of the immortals”.
Loma Linda, CALIFORNIA
The city has been the national epicenter of health and wellness research for decades
Nicoya, COSTA RICA
The inhabitants of the area are said to have an extremely positive outlook on life and this would help the elderly to live longer.
The Blue Zones represent the reference model par excellence in which it is possible to learn, train and renovate by staying in close contact with the topics of interest.
ITS courses
ITS courses are dedicated to all graduates who want to undertake a training path by acquiring the knowledge and skills most sought after by companies.
Collaboration with public and private entities such as universities, research institutions, local authorities, businesses, companies and start-ups allows students to immediately enter the labour force: today ITS courses have a placement of 80%.
INNOVATION
The ITS Blue Zone Foundation is committed to the continuous search for innovative ideas that can also be found outside the business realm.
This summer, the Foundation will collaborate with Usmac by Silicon Valley and the Tortolì Industrial Consortium on the creation of a training course that will see two business development experts as instructors.
