Festival della Crescita will be back in Milan: three days of meetings and dialogues on “Happy Growth”
Three days of meetings in two venues: the 2019 edition of the Festival della Crescita will be back in Milan on Thursday, 17 October, at Le Village by Crédit Agricole (Corso di Porta Romana 61), on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October, at Palazzo delle Stelline (Corso Magenta 61). Launched in 2015 by Future Concept Lab on the occasion of Expo Milano, over three years, Festival della Crescita has reached 28 cities, totaling 36 venues and 55 meetings, workshops, performances, illustrating different perspectives on the theme of innovation and “happy and sustainable growth”.
The motto for 2019, “Designing happiness”, reaffirms the meaning of this project and defines the theme of the last event, which closes the 2019 edition of the Tour. The Milan event represents the synthesis of an interdisciplinary path, a place where the protagonists can meet and exchange views. Happiness becomes a design perspective that affects crucial aspects of contemporary life, including education, cohabitation, health, mobility and sustainability.
