THE SOCIAL INNOVATION CAMPUS
The Campus is one of the main events in Italy about Social Innovation and offers students and young people the opportunity to experiment and learn about sustainability, innovation and social impact, to orientate themselves on the jobs and skills of future, to work on soft skills, transversal skills and civic education issues.
All the Campus initiatives are organized in collaboration with the network of founders and partners of Fondazione Triulza. The aim is to involve schools and young people in moments of discussion, experimentation and co-planning, and in the interaction with different realities: third sector and civil economy, start-ups and technological companies, universities and research centres, local bodies, profit and social enterprises and stakeholders of MIND – Milano Innovation District.
In the first four editions, the Social Innovation Campus involved over 20,000 people, of which 10,500 were young people and students from secondary schools, IFTS and ITS courses, universities and recent graduates.
