Muoviamo invites you to embark on a transformative journey where you can give plastic waste a second chance. The journey starts in your own surroundings: you will collect plastic that has reached the end of its original life cycle, and you will have the power to shape its future.

The next stage of the journey starts when the Muoviamo mobile plastic laboratory arrives at the WeeGee Exhibition Centre on 18–19 October 2025. In guided workshops, the plastic waste you have gathered will be given new life as a work of art, a practical object or a piece of jewellery, becoming a message for a more sustainable tomorrow.

The journey of the plastic will be documented in photographs, capturing its origin, transformation and new purpose. These images will be compiled into a virtual exhibition. 

You can register to the workshops in here(external link, opens in a new window).
