Travelling is a game

Supported by Fondazione San Zeno.

Travel is a street game too! Step by step, kilometre after kilometre, the traveller plays with the world, with stories and with his fate. Both travel and games are about discovery, bodies in motion, imagination. But what would happen is for one day we tried to travel with different rules from the usual mass tourism? During this workshop, curated by Claudio Visentin and organised by Scuola del Viaggio together with Libreria Gulliver in conversation with Elena Bonino, we will learn how to travel in a more deep and interesting way, playing with words and dreams.
