Keynote Panel
To be an hero is not necessary to have superpowers. Having a goal and pursuing it with all the might often counts more than anything else. According to American psychologists Philip Zimbardo, Kathy Blau and Zeno Franco, the Heroes of our time have 5 distinctive features: Many of the heroes are independent; they represent danger or self-sacrifice; their work involves the acceptance of risk and potential consequences; their work is carried out in support of others or an idea greater than themselves; and many times their ideas are against the tide. Let us be inspired by the story of exceptional men and women who, with determination, generosity and a touch of madness are changing their lives and the lives of mankind. * Opening "Virality Factor" by Paolo De Nadai, ScuolaZoo.

A reality of international importance and a genuine revolution protagonist. The Cirque du Soleil has reinvented the world of circus by introducing a new mode to narrate the body in space. We will discover it better thanks to Gillian Ferrabee, Director of Creative Lab. The focus of this session will be the body, also in the second part dedicated to Sarah Jane Pell, artist astronaut candidate. The secrets of her initiatives and achievements, seemingly unattainable, but always reaching the highest points.
