VENICE | “WE RECYCLING THE WHEEL BENCHES”: THE MUNICIPALITY CALLS THE SCHOOLS – ANTENNA TRE
04/11/2021 VENICE – After the controversy over the wheeled benches that have been thrown away, the Municipality of Venice has offered itself as an intermediary between the schools that no longer use them and the associations that need them. || Instead of being thrown away, wheeled benches in a Venetian high school could be recycled. The Municipality of Venice, Murano and Burano is willing to act as an intermediary between schools that want to sell their desks to associations or groups that need them. An invitation to the institutes was sent by the president of the Municipality Marco Borghi. From a first survey, there could be several schools that have wheelchair benches that are not used. In a short time, the associations that would like to use them also came to life. Among those proposed there are, for example, sports associations that alongside competitive activity are accompanied by theoretical training courses that would make wheeled benches particularly useful. – Interviewees MARCO BORGHI (PRESIDENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF VENICE) (Report by Filippo Fois)
