Gold Sponsor Veolia brings the school project “Building the future: sustainability, piece by piece”

Meanwhile, activities have begun at the Barcolana Village led by Veolia, Gold Sponsor of Barcolana and a long-standing partner of the event through initiatives that engage people of all ages.

This year’s project, “Building the Future: Sustainability, Piece by Piece,” is dedicated to primary school children in Trieste. They are working together to create a large collective mosaic using recycled materials such as plastic caps, fabrics, buttons, cork, nutshells, dried pasta, seashells, and small pebbles.

Seven primary school classes are taking part in the initiative, meeting every morning through Thursday to transform the Village into an open-air art laboratory. Together, they will complete twelve panels forming a single large artwork depicting the city of Trieste.
The grand finale will take place in Piazza Verdi on Friday, 10 October, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., when all the pieces will be assembled into one shared artwork – a symbol of creativity, sustainability, and collaboration among the youngest participants of Barcolana.
