Ada Ferri

Associate professor at Politecnico di Torino

Ada, an associate professor at the Applied Science and Technology Department of Politecnico di Torino, will unveil the technological progress in materials science, which has made human being a species adapted to extreme cold. She will focus on garment design, and will explain the general idea of the strategy to adopt when getting dressed for extremely cold environments.

Andrea Pregel

Project Manager / Director

Andrea Pregel, an inclusione advocate from Italy and co-founder, president and executive director of GLOBI, will show us drawings made by thousands of children from over 30 countries on the theme of disability and present the impact of the global campaign #DrawDisability. He will underline the importance of empowering children, youth and everyone with disabilities.

Anna Citelli

Designer

Anna and Raoul, two designers who are part of the Capsula Mundi project, will talk about the opportunity to change our perception of death through the redesigning of a single object: the coffin. The goal is to change the perception of death, not as the end of the life but as the beginning of a return path in the biological cycle.

Daniele Santi

Senzatomica Secretary

Daniele, who is working for Senzatomica, Italy's largest grassroots movement to abolish nuclear weapons, will share his experience as an activist and will explain how important and controversial nuclear weapon disarmament is still today. He will show us how nuclear weapon disarmament starts from a social and even personal disarmament, and how much a single person can do to change the situation.

Lorenzo Di Ciaccio

CEO at Pedius

Lorenzo is the founder of Pedius, a phone service for the deaf and hard of hearing. Transforming a social issue into a business sounds impossible, but the reality is that every individual has a "secret" power to unleash, finding how it will transform you into an innovator.

Lorenzo Ongaro

Storyteller

Falling in love with food can change our lives and the world around us, but there's no recipe to do it: just the right ingredients. Lorenzo, a filmmaker and digital storyteller, will share with us how he tried to find these ingredients through his personal love story.

Michele Pacileo

Art Director

Michael will explain his attempt to encourage a form of graphic design based on the respect of all types of person. He is deeply convinced that any good designer should "create" without forgetting that he is working for everyone and that everyone has the right of access to what the designer creates.

Raoul Bretzel

Designer

Anna and Raoul, two designers who are part of the Capsula Mundi project, will talk about the opportunity to change our perception of death through the redesigning of a single object: the coffin. The goal is to change the perception of death, not as the end of the life but as the beginning of a return path in the biological cycle.

Riccardo D'Avino

Graphic designer

Riccardo, too refined for talent shows and too commercial for big cultural events, is a young singer and songwriter from Torino who will perform some pieces from his most recent album, "Ritorno al silenzio" (The return to silence) during our conference. He will share a description and a story about his way to be a musician.

Valentina Noya

Self-empowering visual methods

Images are powerful tools in our society. The capacity of developing a critical sensibility to analyse the world with your own eyes is the the first step to not to be overwhelmed. Valentina will share with us how the application of visual methods in the participatory action-research help suggest and share new best practise among different fields.
