The toy factory
By Don’t throw anything away
Plastic recycling laboratory through the use of light technologies (portable shredder, manual extruder, small injection moulds). The often repulsive and technically complex theme of recycling will be tackled by bringing it to the scale of play, the most spontaneous, immediate and understandable dimension for all generations. The aim will be to introduce the youngest to the logic of the circular economy, instructing them on ‘good’ and ‘bad’ materials with a view to circularity, observing and touching, under the supervision of the teachers, the machinery involved in the transformation of waste into new objects and having fun playing together with what has been produced.

Dance Workshop: Gentle practices of casual beauty
with Lorenzo De Simone, in collaboration with Sharing Training Milano
Target: young adults, 20-30 years old
Kindness is a gesture, a movement, a going towards the other: a caress, offering a flower, cradling, listening, paying someone for groceries, taking care of a plant, watering a sunflower, not wasting water, respecting animals and the environment, giving a gift is an action and, therefore, it is done with the body, especially with the hands. Kind practices of casual beauty is a laboratory in which the body and gesture become a vehicle of relationship, empathy, but also understanding, reflection and listening to what kindness is. Thus we will start from our body, from the possibility of taking care of it, from touching it, feeling it, perceiving its possibility of being kind and then opening ourselves up to the group, to test the kindness, care, attention, sharing, cooperation, delicacy of encounter with the Other and with the surrounding environment, to look with kind eyes, without judgment, without violence, but with a light and subtle gaze that skims and rests lightly. The practice does not require any skills or particular skills/skills, but is open to all * those who wish to experiment with the gesture and give voice to the importance and beauty of kindness with the body.
