"Hydro Comics & Podcast in Piana Rotaliana" Project

Finally, comics and podcasts are available to everyone!

First presented to around 80 young people from the Piana Rotaliana on Wednesday, 6 March, and then to a hundred or so spectators from the community on the evening of Friday, 8 March, the launch of the 'Hydro Comics & Podcast in Piana Rotaliana' was a great success. On our new YouTube channel, you can find the full recording of the event.
 

Thanks to the working group, the 14 environmental stories told by students from three schools in the Piana Rotaliana were transformed into real artistic masterpieces. For the entire month of April, you can read and listen to all the tracks and comic stories free of charge directly on our website. If, on the other hand, you would like a hard copy of the book, you can buy it for only € 8.50 at our stand at the next fairs and festivals in Lavis (TN) or from our online shop! What's more, the copy is free for all ECONTROVERTIA members!
 

Realised within the framework of the "Piano Giovani di Zona della Piana Rotaliana 2023-2024", this project was made possible thanks to the support of Fondazione Caritro and the hard work of school coordinators Alberto Bevilacqua, Giulia Pacher, and Barbara Centis, theatre director Jennifer Miller, cartoonist Alessandro Nica, graphic designer Daniel Astudillo, sound director Francesco Biondo, and project contact person Mark L. Miller.

Enjoy listening and reading!

From Trieste, a graduate in Environmental Management of Mountain Areas, a big fan of mountains and sports. I like to cover various environmental topics in my articles, but mainly the role that the world of sports can play in the fight against global warming.
