eARTh
LEGNANO - ongoing
The project, promoted by Fondazione Cariplo as part of the ‘Creative Climate’ call for proposals, is being developed in the Legnano area, addressing two major environmental issues: air quality and the health of the Olona river water. The crucial questions we ask ourselves are: What air are we breathing? What water flows in the Olona river bed? Is the biodiversity of our territory under threat? And our health?
Gruppo Pleiadi, project leader, and BePart, operating partner, will involve the students of the Bernocchi Institute in a co-design and co-creation process. The aim is to create an artistic and educational tool that addresses and raises awareness of environmental issues, using a language that combines art, technology and play. Students will be able to choose between ‘visual language’ and ‘language of play’, enriched and amplified by the use of ‘digital language’. This project offers them the opportunity to become active players in reflection and action for a more sustainable future.
