Our Come Together journey is a always reach in both scientific and human content.
On the occasion of the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, celebrated on May 21, MUST in collaboration with la "La Piazzetta" a Caritas community center in Milan developed a Climate Intercultural Week with a programm of workshops for homeless people to explore climate, sustainability and justice themes. (21-28 May)
Several workshops were held:
-
Poetry Lab: A creative space where participants explored the power of words and nature through poetry. It encouraged reflection on climate issues, diversity, and human connection with the environment.
-
Art and Drawing Lab: This session allowed participants to express their understanding of the climate crisis through art. With diverse materials, they created pieces that symbolized their personal views on environmental issues.
-
Cineforum: A film screening and discussion space where films related to sustainability, climate change, and human responsibility were shown. Participants discussed how these issues impact their communities and the world.
On May 28th, at the end of the week at La Piazzetta community center, some of the homeless guests visited the Museo Scienza e Tecnologia along with the Center Director Ines Lettera and some volunteers. We explored the Fragility and Beauty exhibition with Luca Reduzzi, curator of Astronomy and Space Collections, Fabrizio Stavola Education curator and Sara Calcagnini Head of Public Engagement .
In the same day they recorded an interesting episode of their podcast, RadioPiazzetta to share their experience with the community,

A big thank you to Ines, the educators, the volunteers, and especially the guests of the center for helping us to look beyond... beyond CO2, beyond waste segregation, to talk about justice, consumption and exploitation.
