Learning from the community

EXPRESSION
TROTTO MILANO
Engaging the new generations in giving voice to the future they envision, expressing it through artistic projects, sports, and playful-cultural activities: since 2021 its collaboration with schools, involving more than 2,000 children, and the active listening to communities have been the fuel driving Hines through an ongoing dialogue with the local authorities of Municipio 7 and the Municipality of Milan.
All these projects fall within the framework of the educational workshops and extracurricular activities program called “A scuola di comunità” (Learning from the community), a program promoted by Hines to establish a synergistic and long-lasting collaboration with the communities, thereby contributing to the creation of a strong, inclusive, and sustainable social and urban fabric.
