About The World Under Our Roof

On the occasion of the World Day for Cultural Diversity, Cascina Grande in Rozzano opens its doors to "The World Under Our Roof": a day of readings, testimonials, gastronomic workshops, and musical workshops to discover the richness of the cultures that make up the city. Organized by the association Il Balzo, it is an invitation to get to know each other and break down barriers, in the province of Milan.

The Cultures of the World in Rozzano

In Rozzano, in the province of Milan, the Cascina Grande Cultural Center hosts "The World Under Our Roof", a day dedicated to cultural diversity organized by the Il Balzo association with the patronage of the Municipality. The initiative was created on the occasion of the World Day for Cultural Diversity and aims to showcase the richness of the many cultures that make up the social fabric of the city.

A Program for Getting to Know Each Other

The day offers a packed schedule of events: from animated readings for children to testimonials on important issues such as the right to education for women, from award ceremonies for competitions to debates with third-sector organizations. Every moment is designed to foster encounter and dialogue between people of different backgrounds.

Food, Music, and Workshops

Among the most engaging offerings are the culinary and cultural workshop, dedicated to the anthropology of food, and the musical and artistic workshops. Food and music thus become universal languages for telling stories of cultures, in a journey that combines taste, creativity, and knowledge.

Breaking Down Barriers

"The World Under Our Roof" is an event that focuses on inclusion and encounter. Through workshops, debates, and interactive activities, it aims to break down barriers and reveal the beauty of diversity. For those living in Rozzano and its surroundings, it is a precious opportunity to see the world with new eyes, on the outskirts of Milan.
