-
To elaborate and discuss how the attitudes toward the environmental challenges can be promoted by the cultural sector;
-
To present and compare the experiences about culture and sustainability in Italy and the Nordic countries in the field of urban development, architecture, fashion, and art, in order to increase knowledge and interest in interdisciplinary cooperation;
