An afternoon dedicated to collective cleaning along the Dora River, but more importantly, a chance to come together to take care of public spaces and create a moment of sharing and collaboration.

The 2024 edition of the “Puliamo il Mondo” campaign will be held on Sunday, September 22, in the Aurora neighborhood, organized by the Legambiente Molecola and GreenTo clubs, with the participation of Torino Social Impact as part of the Circular Economy Community of Practice, a project funded by the Chamber of Commerce of Turin and the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation.

The Molecola and GreenTo clubs involved are mainly composed of young people under 35 active in the Turin area, committed to environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable practices. Various local organizations focusing on integration, inclusion, and public space management will also participate in the campaign, contributing to an experience of civic responsibility and engagement.

Why Aurora?

Many local associations in the Aurora neighborhood work daily to promote paths of integration and collective care of urban spaces. Organizing “Puliamo il Mondo” here provides an opportunity to make the neighborhood more livable, which is reflected in the event’s title: “WE’RE ALL HERE IF IT BELONGS TO ALL OF US.”

Program:

• Meeting point: In front of Sermig/Giardino Pellegrino, 2:30 PM
• Activities: Training and division into work groups
• What to bring: Gloves and bags will be provided by the associations. Appropriate clothing is required (sturdy, high shoes).

How to participate:

Everyone’s participation is essential for the success of this initiative. Those interested in joining are asked to register for the event and, if they wish, propose an activity for the occasion by Thursday, September 19.

The “Puliamo il Mondo” Campaign:

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people across Italy commit to cleaning up streets, squares, urban parks, riverbanks, and beaches from abandoned waste. “Puliamo il Mondo” is an initiative that, year after year, actively involves citizens and has been described by Legambiente as “the world’s largest environmental volunteer event.” It is supported by a vast network of associations that work with migrants, asylum seekers, people with disabilities, prisoners, and individuals discriminated against for their sexual orientation, with the aim of “cleaning the world of prejudices as well.”
