Description
In 2024, we created the Knowledge Garden, an outdoor space for studying, reading, and cultural activities within the Agorateca community library. We now aim to improve and beautify this space to make it even more attractive and welcoming, through new furnishings such as cushions, benches, and creative interventions inspired by the principles of the New European Bauhaus—creativity, beauty, and social connection. Activities will also include workshops with Abitare Circolare School and technical support for setting up a photography exhibition on the theme of migration, in collaboration with the association Campo 65.
