Golinelli Foundation proposes a game a Streaming quiz on Monday 11 May at 16.00 pm on the world of plants and for boys and girls aged 12 and adults, conducted by the journalist Andrea Vico, with the participation of the philosopher and biology historian Telmo Pievani.
Through ideas and curiosities contained in the book Traveling Plants, published by Editoriale Scienza, participants will be able to immerse themselves in an imaginary journey to discover the plants that we use on the table every day and that take us back to the history of agriculture, the landscape that surrounds us and the plants themselves. Questions, curiosities, historical anecdotes and cultural challenges: plants not only give us food, spices, medicines and raw materials, but they can also give us the right ideas to understand the present and face the future.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with Editoriale Scienza on the occasion of the International Year of Plant Health proclaimed by the United Nations for the year 2020.
To participate in the online event it is necessary to register (max. 90 participants). Furthermore, you need a PC or tablet connected to the network and connected to the Zoom platform and a smartphone on which to download the Kahoot APP in advance.
