“An initiative that has multiple values: from the culture that comes out of the libraries to go to the meeting places of the children to the inclusion of the children of the Davide Project (which takes care of disabled children in our territories) in their production, from the choice made of the CCR until the final installation today”, comments the municipal administration.
Furthermore, the goods purchased at the express request of the children were delivered: from leisure games to notebooks, from chalk for drawing “retro” games on the floor to cork rolls to be placed in the corridors.
