Project realized with the Provincia Autonoma di Trento contribution
* Building light (Costruiamo la Luce) was designed for the Emergency NGO (medical and surgical treatment to the civilian victims of war, landmines and poverty), Milan, Italy and Provincia Autonoma di Trento, Italy, with the Civica Scuola di Cinema, Milan, Italy. It has been distributed for free in 2000 primary schools in Italy. Afterwards it was republished in collaboration with the Provincia of Milan, Italy to be distribuited in public libraries
Building light is an educational project about war and peace for children (primary school) and their teachers. It aims to inform and involve about the themes of peace, solidarity and understanding among people. The film animation story was inspired on a true story in order to be realistic and not take anything for granted. Inside the story there are thematic nodes that can be studied with the help of books and discussed through class debates between childen and teachers.
