In line with Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda—making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable—Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Urban Vision are promoting Suburb View, a project that enhances urban spaces through youth contributions. Students, together with the educational community, take part in a collaborative workshop to create an artistic piece that celebrates a place of special significance to their school community. The initiative is led by digital artists, Urban Vision employees through skills-based volunteering, and FMD trainers.
On April 3, 2025, the final event of the Suburb View project will take place in Milan, showcasing the artistic prototype created by students from the Galilei-Luxemburg Institute in collaboration with digital artist Umberto Nicoletti. Inspired by Billboard Art, the artwork reflects on the potential of urban space as a medium for social and cultural expression.
Through a hands-on workshop, students explored the power of visual and textual language, transforming a city LED billboard into an ephemeral and participatory art surface. The project is part of Milano ArtWeek, highlighting the role of public art as a tool for dialogue and change.

The Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS, registered with the Runts, is a knowledge-oriented non profit organization. For over twenty years we have been committed to spreading the culture of innovation for a new knowledge economy as an engine for the country’s development. We use digital technologies as a social accelerator, to fuel growth, well-being, productivity and competitiveness, convinced that an innovative ecosystem is a value for everyone, from citizens to businesses to cities. We work for a democratic knowledge society by combining innovation, education, inclusion, and core values so that the benefits benefit all people without excluding or leaving anyone behind. We work locally, nationally and internationally, developing models of intervention that can be replicated everywhere. Almost 200 social inclusion and innovation projects have been implemented so far, also financed with European funds. We intervene in emergencies with innovative and systemic solutions in strategic sectors for the country’s development, precisely in terms of GDP (school dropouts, youth unemployment, gender equality, active aging, etc.). The main operational headquarters is at the Città Educativa in Rome, the center of best practices and innovation, but we have activated other territorial hubs in Milan, Terni, L’Aquila, Palermo and Catania.
