From 2020 to 2021, almost one hundred Academy students took part in a communication programme commissioned by MM Spa - the public water company of Milan. Four workshops focused on an alternative and innovative approach to water and circular economy. The aim was to raise awareness among citizens and companies, to let people know all those good practices to be adopted daily. "Generazione Acqua" includes thirty-eight projects that will be on show in Milan at the Centrale dell'Acqua, from November 29 to January 15. Below is the information on the event.
