Short description of the project

Realization of the project proposed in the VIII edition of “Dai un senso al profitto”: Create and implement an awareness and fundraising event for MSF, in Milan, involving artists or young students of various creative academic realities (IED, NABA, schools of Comics) to tell the emotion of taking care of those deprived of the dignity of human being through humanitarian medical intervention. Use art as a tool for expression and involvement. Thinking also about the creation of a collective work involving creative young people and civil society. Closing event an exhibition in Bocconi or in a place in the municipality of Milan with a possible auction or fundraising in favor of MSF.

The project aims to raising awareness and funds to support the Organization through different and innovative communication tools.

We will organize webinars/online seminars with representatives of MSF (staff, Board’s members, volunteers, expats/social workers).
