"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Valory

Anche quest’anno la Design Week ci lascia pieni di spunti, ispirazioni, emozioni e con un forte mal di testa.
Non ho purtroppo tempo di parlarvi di tutte le cose meravigliose che Milano ci ha regalato in questa edizione: usciranno bellissimi articoli, come sempre, su Interni e Elle Decor.

Voglio però prendermi un istante per parlavi di qualcosa di inaspettato in cui mi sono imbattuta all’NH-hotel. Si tratta di Valory, un’app di orientamento per giovani dai 16 ai 26 anni nata a Udine come strumento di supporto psicologico e rapidamente evolutasi in qualcosa che si pone l’obiettivo di dare ai nostri ragazzi una voce a tutto tondo. L’ente dietro a Valory è una start-up innovativa a vocazione sociale, che si occupa di servizi di supporto all’istruzione e, come tale, potete immaginare come mai abbia catturato la mia attenzione.

L’app, naturalmente disponibile per Android e iOS, propone la creazione di contenuti di valore (una rarità, nell’era del meme e del re-post) e si pone l’obiettivo di aiutare i giovani a individuare le proprie passioni per trasformarle nel loro futuro professionale. Attraverso alcuni piccoli meccanismi di gamification, premia l’interazione e il coinvolgimento.

L’installazione all’NH, si presentava attraverso gli scatti Instagram dei suoi iscritti, ma proponeva anche, naturalmente, alcuni talk di orientamento sul tema dell’interior design.

Decisamente una realtà da tenere sott’occhio.

This is the third collection I read from these charming little light-blue books with the golden pages, and they’re uneven at best. Once again, as such, I have mixed feelings about this collection and I’ll have to proceed scientifically to give a rating, so here
