th EXPO 2015 # 63 • JUNE 28 , 2015 48 | WE THE ITALIANS www.wetheitalians.com "Expo Milano 2015 constitutes a great educational opportunity. Because it is a unique context and a common effort of so many people who come together around such an important theme. It is an opportunity you cannot miss to increase children’s awareness and make them feel part of and directly involved in the choices of sustainability that concern us all. This is the meaning of the work that Expo 2015 is proposing to involve the new generations on the key issues of nutrition and the planet’s sustainability. The Childrenshare project – children share! – was created thanks to a proposal by the MUBA Foundation as a project aiming to include the world of children. Its purpose is therefore to welcome children in the Expo 2015 universe and increase their awareness about the issue of nutrition in a spirit of call for action that connotes many of the initia- tives activated by Expo 2015. Childrenshare has made it possible to combine the many initiatives that in various places, in Italy and abroad, are speaking to children about the themes of Expo 2015: an extremely important resource, the true inheritance of an international event of this scope. It is also and above all to collect these contributions that this project was born. It will be hosting a selection of the fantastic ideas we have been encountering during the semester of the Universal Exposition in Milan". Sabina
