A major anniversary for the most green and creative event in Milan! This year, GREEN ISLAND celebrates its 15th edition. An achievement which GREEN ISLAND 2016 will commemorate with a series of activities starting from the month of April during Milano Design Week (10-17 April) and continuing throughout the year. The new, rich programme of GREEN ISLAND 2016 sets out to bring together all the pioneering stimuli launched over these years, in order to develop initiatives of divulgation, cultural promotion and training in the field of environmental protection, of civic education and eco-sustainable development, as a cultural and educational heritage to leave to future generations. In order to raise awareness of socio-environmental themes and to enhance the necessary skills of individuals and the community as a whole, we hereby present Creating Future Landscapes, a programme which offers a wide range of instruments, in order to reflect on the many ways of implementing a creative approach to teaching about green areas and sustainability, guiding us towards the safeguarding of our territory.
