The annual appointment with Edufest returns on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May, the Education Festival organized by Progetto A and Orsa and dedicated to children, families, teachers and professionals in the world of education. Villa Ghirlanda in Cinisello Balsamo will host the participants who, like every year, take part in the event for the 2024 edition.
“It is a great opportunity for our territory – comment the Mayor of Cinisello Giacomo Ghilardi and the Councilor for Social Policies and Centrality of the Person Riccardo Visentin – with the educational issue placed at the center not only of conferences, but also of social events, with the best speakers at national level and a showcase of associations and direct experiences with a highly inclusive 360-degree vision”.
The organizers decided to arrive in Cinisello Balsamo to meet “the true heart of the country: the decentralized areas of the province”. But perhaps it escapes the organizers that Cinisello Balsamo, approximately 75 thousand inhabitants, borders Milan, is an integral part of the metropolitan city and is anything but a decentralized area in the province.
In any case, definitions aside, this year the festival is dedicated to the theme of “transformations”, such as the impact of technologies on social dynamics and much more. To discuss it, the event has attracted many well-known figures, including thinkers and educators who will meet at various tables starting from Saturday morning. There were many notable guests, from the hyena Alice Martinelli to the writer Irene Facheris, from the autistic dancer Freak Hey to the mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi. From the philosopher Michela Marzano to the writer Franco Membrini. And there is also room for Diego Fusaro, a philosopher with controversial positions, whose presence is already making social media boil.
