On February 21, 2025 (from 10.30 am to 5 pm) the Master’s degree in Mobility Studies community gathered for the second edition of the Mobility Fest. The event was meant to bring together academics, practitioners and students in the field of mobility & humanities, to promote knowledge-transfer by employing creative methodologies, and collect feedback from the Mobility Studies students.

 

The Mobility Fest featured a World Cafè, involving figures outside the academic community, stakeholders and professionals related to the educational offer of our Master’s degree. The partnerships of this initiative include the Associazione Popoli Insieme, the Mobility Office Unipd, Meeple srl, Progetto Giovani (Municipality of Padua).

 

The event also featured Gabriele Del Grande’s multimedial monologue “The Moving Century. A history of migration from the future”.

 

A hundred years ago, visas and passports didn’t exist. Today, the bodies of fifty thousand migrants who drowned along smuggling routes lie on the seabed of the Mediterranean. How did we get here? And, more importantly, how will we get out of this? Gabriele Del Grande takes us on a journey through images and words, exploring the history and future of migration in Europe to provoke us with a visionary proposal. Il Secolo è Mobile is presented by ZALAB, in collaboration with CINEMAZERO.
