E PER GIOCO PROGETTO!

To mark the beginning of the National Education for Sustainability Week (November 24-30, 2025), the Politecnico di Milano willhostseveral classes from the “Luigi Cadorna” primary school in Milan for a morningdedicated to active learning and the discovery of sustainablearchitecture.

The initiativeis part of the educational programme
“E PER GIOCO PROGETTO! – School of Sustainable Architecture for Children”, designed by Linda Poletti under the scientific supervision of Ilaria Oberti.

The programme aims to bring younger generations closer to the natural and built environment, helping them understand their relationships and develop a design sensibility through a holistic approach.

Throughout the morning, the pupils, accompanied by their teachers, will explore the campus, discovering several concrete actions implemented by the University to promote environmental sustainability.
Among the topics addressed will be an introduction to Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), strategies that use vegetation and natural ecosystems to improve the quality of urban spaces.

The visit will include stops at:

• Coltivando, the community garden of the Bovisa-Candiani Campus, createdthrough a co-design process with localresidents and maintained by volunteers;
• the bike station and Policiclo bicycle workshop, which promote sustainable mobility through parking, self-repair, and community activities;
• examples of proper waste management within the campus.

The morningwill feature four interactive activities, allowingchildren to learnthrough play:

• Let’s play with waste: wheredoesit go?
• Allabout bikes: do you know what a bike station is?
• Spongesoil: when the ground absorbsrainwater
• An edible garden: can yourecognisearomaticherbs?

Taking part in the 24 November session, in addition to the Scientific Coordinator, will be facultymembers and researchers from the Department of Design, staff from the EnvironmentalSustainability Service, and volunteers from Policiclo.
