For the first time, Action Aid plans to participate in a communication project at the Milan Design Week, to raise awareness of the Millennials and G-Zen targets, bringing attention to its commitment to social issues like the right and access to water.
Students envisioned an installation at Fondazione Prada, aimed at engaging visitors in a game to gain water, to identify themselves with the people who are forced daily to get water with great effort. The group designed a path inside the Fondazione Prada building in Milan, where visitors could get a water bottle and find a luxury bespoke manual water pump. The route inside the building culminates with a video installation, showing the ActionAid project.
