Mose public information activity

Since the beginning of the year, several groups belonging to Italian and foreign bodies and institutions have participated in presentations and technical visits to the construction sites; meetings with local schools continued, also in collaboration with the Municipality of Venice and many other Italian and foreign schools visiting Venice. In the end, many people have independently visited the "puntomose" information center at the North Arsenal.

In March, a delegation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Texas General Land Office, involved in the project for the defense of the city of Galveston from the hurricanes, came to visit Mose to study the possible applications of the defense solution adopted in Venice to their territory.

The total public involved in these activities was around 3,000 people.

In the coming weeks, the meetings on the Mose and the visits to the Arsenal and the construction sites will continue.

Meetings and guided tours at the Mose worksites

Regular meetings are held on the Mose, with the presentation of the Plan of Interventions for the Venice Coastal and Environmental Defence of Venice and its lagoon as well as technical visits to the Arsenale (dry docks and control room) and to the lagoon inlets. These activities are attended by Italian and foreign groups, composed of technical and government delegations, universities and research institutes, high schools and technical secondary schools, various associations.

Information

Meetings in Italian and English can be organized at the North Arsenal for groups of 15/30 people.

Activities for students

The educational workshops for primary, secondary and high schools of the City of Venice continue. Students are offered meetings, designed according to the age of the children, which have the aim at illustrating the Mose and which are an opportunity for debate and analysis.
In the last two years, the school has been involved in the school-work alternation project. The students participated in the communication activities of the Mose.
Workshops can be organized for groups of 15/30 children, even outside of school activities.

puntomose

There are two information points open to the public with updated information on the system of interventions for the environmental and coastal defense of Venice and its lagoon and on the progress of work: one at the North Arsenal, free entry from Monday to Friday throughout the day from 9.30am to 5.30pm, and one in the heart of the city, in Rialto, at the headquarters of the Provveditorato Interregionale per le Opere Pubbliche del Triveneto.

The Mose represents a state-of-the-art technological work, unique in its kind that is watched with interest by many countries, occupied at this time in identifying solutions for the defense against the effects of climate change.
To implement the exchange of information and know-how within the international technical-scientific community, the networks and opportunities for meetings between research and training institutes are fundamental.

Summer School MIT-IUAV

In May 2018 the second edition of the Summer School was held. Ita was entitled "Marginal territories, but not marginal. The case of the island of Pellestrina" promoted by the Provveditorato Interregionale alle OO.PP. del Triveneto and the Consorzio Venezia Nuova together with the Università IUAV di Venezia and the MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The site of the school was the worksite area for the construction of the defense barriers from floods of the Mose at the Malamocco inlet and the accessory workers village, located on the island of Pellestrina.
The initiative aims to disseminate the scientific and technical knowledge related to Mose also through dialogue and exchange with universities and the territory.
There are two main elements from which we started: the first important goal to be achieved is to strengthen the role of Mose as a flywheel of know-how, as it is a work that has produced a multidisciplinary heritage, which must be collected and transmitted. The second goal concerns the construction sites that, born as temporary work sites, can also be used as places of study, analysis and planning.
The Mose compares two important schools, one from Venice and the other from overseas. This is precisely its characteristic: a work that has put in place a lot of knowledge and has produced diversified experiences, a multidisciplinary laboratory, which starts from Venice, because it is the territory that is called to defend, but which involves the world technical-scientific community.
Protagonists of the School are the places that host it, which are the subject of analysis and reflection to think of them with destinations, transformations, uses and reuses in the service of the Island.
The first edition of the Summer School entitled "Reinventing places. Venice / Mose: a study on a temporary site between the lake and the sea" took place in 2017.

I-STORM Network

The Mose is part of the Network I-Storm (International Network for Storm Surge Barriers) whose purpose is to expand and exchange know-how and knowledge on the construction and management of coastal defense systems, in order to achieve the best operating standards. Part of the network, in addition to Italy with the Mose (Consorzio Venezia Nuova and Provveditorato Interregionale OO.PP.), are the United Kingdom with the UK Environmental Agency, the Netherlands with the Rijkswaterstaat, the United States with the USACE United States Corps of Engineers.
Every year there is a meeting between the participants: in 2017 it was held in Washington and New Orleans; in 2018 in Ipswich, UK.

BES-Net

Mose is a partner of BES-Net (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network) and is present as a case study on the website within the online database dedicated to examples of resilient ecosystems. BES-Net is part of the United Nations Development Program; it promotes the dialogue between knowledge and practices, in order to develop models of sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide.
