Day 1
Biodiversity Park
We need a day for...1000 plants, crops, orchards, gardens, installations, digital interaction, applications, games, performances; this theme unfolds 8,000 square meters of parkland and eight large greenhouses. Making food available for all without compromising the overall health of the ecosystem is an attainable goal. We will try to give answers to fondamental question: what kind of future do we want? We will have in this sections some guidance all the time, because it is very important that we learn something from this visit. Maybe, some meeting with the researchers who contribute to organise this area.

Day 2
Arts & Foods.
Rituals since 1851 We will have the opportunity to see works of art, drawings and architectural models, films, objects, documents, books, menus, and album covers , in the interior and exterior spaces of the Triennale (about 7,000 square meters, comprising building and garden); this global panorama of the interwoven aesthetics and design of eating rituals that uses a variety of media to offer a view across time, from the historical to the contemporary, of all levels of expression, creativity and communication from all areas of culture will offer us th eopportunity to learn more than in our lives about art. So, it would be better to take part to the work shops organised in this areas, or to meet various artists who did create special bond between the visual arts and the topic of food and of eating together in positive terms, both to reveal rituals and specificity, and to emphasize any idiosyncrasies or problematic areas.Arts & Foods will be organized in chronological order, starting from 1851 up to current times, interweaving testimonies of artists, writers, filmmakers, graphic designers, musicians, photographers, architects and designers. They will range from Impressionism and Pointillism to historic Avant-Garde movements, from Pop Art to the most recent findings, all contributing to how we envision and consume food.

Day 3
The last route for us: Future Food District (located on the south side of the Expo site where there is also the Open Air Theater and the walkway which connects with Cascina Merlata) with some possible scenarios for the application of new technologies at each step of the food chain, to explore different interactions between people and food.
This would be an interesting place for us, where new technologies and natural elements will co-exist and we will have an interactive supermarket experience where everyone can be a producer and consumer at the same time, with the help of professional chefs.
Of course, we would like to have our friends from SLOW FOOD team with us, all these days.
The students from our team voted for at least 3 days visit to EXPO 2015. It was so difficult to choose STEP I. After long debates, according to their interests, because they will choose in short time their careers, students agree following areas: Biodiversity (day 1), Art and Foods (day 2), Future Food District (day 3).Best wishes to you, Andrei from Bucharest
