EXPO@POLIMI
EXPO@POLIMI kicks off, a project developed by the Campus Life Area following a proposal from the Sustainability Workshop dedicated to Gender and Inclusion Policies. The initiative aims to introduce the internal community to the diverse cultures represented within our University.
The first stop will be on May 21, in celebration of the World Day for Cultural Diversity, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Leonardo Campus – Terrazza Gardella, between Buildings 2 and 4 (in case of rain, the event will be held in the Cloister of Building 2). Students and staff will present INDIA through music, dance, workshops, photo exhibitions, and tastings of traditional dishes.
The journey continues on May 27 at Bovisa Durando Campus – “Ovale” area in front of Building B2 (in case of rain, the event will take place inside Building B2), from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
Admission is free and open to the entire Politecnico community.
We look forward to seeing many of you there!
