Italian term or phrase: Il progetto si avvale di differenti livelli di approfondimento delle attività

It's a demonstrative fruit orchard that has been created to let students and farmers know about various techniques and experiments carried out.
This phrase seems simple, but I can't get it to flow. Any ideas?

Explanation:
Ana,

"si avvale" would be translated "make use of" or "take advantage of" in English.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Ana, one additional note: Please do not look at the word "project" as an abstract notion. What it means here is "Implementation of this project"... makes use of different levels of activities so that students of different levels can gain the knowledge and skills they need.

I think the idea is expressed very clearly.

Beatrice T: IMO "si avvale" is not used correctly in the Italian sentence.

-> I noticed that but, in any case, the verb "avvalersi" in English means "to avail oneself, or "to make use of": http://www.oxfordparavia.it/lemmaIta3142

disagree

GAR: with beatbeat: a project "consiste di qualcosa", it cannot do the action of "usare, avvalersi"... You must be joking! "Project" cannot do an action "i.e. I make use of"... You can say "il progetto consiste di, è articolato in, si compone di" etc.

-> I hate polemics, but I think in this case you are wrong. The sentence is very clear. The verb "avvalersi" in English means "to avail oneself, or "to make use of": http://www.oxfordparavia.it/lemmaIta3142

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks maureen, quite a debate broke out about the meaning, which I had understood anyway, but just couldn't find a phrase that flowed well in English. This sounds good. Thank you to all for your suggestions though!
