The second Virtual Exchange session of the second iteration for students was carried out on 20 November 2025. In total, 198 participants attended the online exchange.
During this session, the students enjoyed another interesting guest lecture before starting their work on the sustainability action task they will carry out for the duration of the UnaVEx exchange. The guest speech was given by Enzio Manzini and tackled the topic of Design in the Ecological Transition. After this session, an introduction was given to the sustainability action task and students worked in their groups on deciding what sustainability action they want to carry out during the UnaVEx exchange and how they will do this.
