An itinerary that engages secondary school students on an experiential visit inspired by the themes of Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective and the Special Project Intelligent Venice. Divided into groups, the students tackle a “challenge of the present” (e.g., migration, climate, or social inclusion). Through visual prompts, creative exercises, guided reflections, and collaborative activities, they have to identify a risk, a hope, and a key skill to develop, transforming the prompts into ideas, visions, and projects for the future.

Journey Through Space and Time: Port, City, and Teamwork
Arsenale | September 30 - October 3, 2025
In this educational activity...
In this educational activity, designed for Years 3, 4, and 5 of primary school, the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority - Ports of Venice and Chioggia serves as the common thread running through the teaching and workshop program. The selected works from the 2025 Architecture Biennale – inspired by the three types of intelligence (natural, artificial, and collective) – have been chosen precisely to offer direct or symbolic insights into the themes of collaboration, environmental balance, technology, and community, in relation to the port context of our city.
The visit continues in the special "Intelligent Venice" pavilion, where further exploration of sustainability, urban transformation, and the connections between the port and the city takes place. The concluding workshop, supported by the Port Educational portal, stimulates children's creativity and teamwork through activities that lead them to discover the port's functions and professions.
This programme is part of the Venetian Port Days, a series of open events celebrating and sharing the stories of Italian ports, promoted nationwide by Assoporti. The goal is to strengthen the dialogue between the port and the city, highlighting the port’s identity and its many facets.
