Realised with the support of SIAE and MiBACT as part of the Per chi crea initiative, the Science for Suburbs project, in collaboration with the Maremetraggio Association, saw forty-five students from the Istituto Deledda Fabiani become authors and directors of three documentaries through an interactive video workshop. All three works address some of the key issues of EuroScience Open Forum 2020 through the eyes of those who live in the city’s suburbs. The project was developed through three workshops, under the guidance of trainers.
