Tondo come il mondo / 2014-2015 Edition
To celebrate the worldwide Expo 2020 event, the Municipality of Milan requested Tondo come il mondo to be distributed to all Milan’s primary schools.
Last December we visited one of the Milanese schools, together with Cristina Gabetti author of the book, and Milan’s Minister of Education Francesco Cappelli, to explain the importance of cultural and environmental issues to the children receiving the handbook.
Check out at TG3 Regionale RAI’s news service.
The theme of this year’s competition was inspired by Expo: ” Welcoming signage”, that is, creating at least five welcome signs/signboards that provide useful information for visitors from all over the world.
Given the focus on Milan, La Fondazione deemed appropriate to grant three awards to the schools in Milan and another three to schools across the country, as it was done in past editions.
