A GREEN GRIN
Thanks to music, theatre, dances, meetings and food, the Grin is a place where for a few days it is possible to celebrate life, understood as not only cultural but also environmental biodiversity: the deep respect for the fragile ecosystem is realized through a conscious path towards Zero Waste and the experimentation of new aggregation models that consider the reduction of our ecological footprint as a priority. The path is ongoing, constantly evolving, perfectible and open to new stimuli and suggestions.
