After a bachelor in Industrial Product Design at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Silvia moved to Glasgow to join the Master in Design Innovation and Citizenship - where she recently graduated in with a thesis exploring young people's perceptions and experiences of the European Union. She is interested in the socio-cultural shifts happening in our societies and in how these changes are going to shape individuals, communities and relationships. She uses her practice to investigate these turns, trying to open spaces for conversation and to gather insights to inform policy-making.
