Two new red benches have been designed and are about to be installed as the Department of Economics and Management, the Department of Humanities and the School of International Studies have joined the Fuori dall'ombra - Out of the shadow project of the University of Trento.

In this way the project confirms its ability to cut across different disciplines and offers, again in 2023, an opportunity to talk about violence against women and to give visibility to the work of those, including the students of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, who have overseen the design of the red benches.

As part of this edition of the event, a conference will be held in the morning "Fuori dall’ombra: la violenza contro le donne tra filosofia, letteratura, economia e politica", which will be followed, in the afternoon, by the inauguration of the two red benches and the opening of the exhibition of the projects presented by the groups of students and of the works created for other academic departments of the University since 2021.

The event will continue with some readings performed by students of the University.

The programme aims, on the one hand, to enhance the social role of architecture and, on the other, to offer a further opportunity to understand the phenomenon of violence against women, which is a violation of human rights. The event was made possible thanks to the active collaboration of local institutions and organizations. 

In 2023 the Service for Occupational Support and Environmental Enhancement of the Autonomous Province of Trento and Spazio Verde - Soc.Coop. Agricola helped organize the event.
