#FAO - #Activity Book Series wins the “#ADI Design - Eccellenze del Design nel Lazio 2019”.

Delighted to learn that the project conceived and created in 2016 together with illustrator Lorenzo Terranera and Aoife Riordan, and strongly championed by Clara Velez Fraga (Chief of OCCO FAO), then turned into a series in 2018, has received this recognition. Over the past two years Guido Chiefalo has carried out a fine redesign and followed the project as art director, together with Florencia de Castro for the content.

It is, let us say, an ephemeral award for those working toward a mission as great as ending poverty and malnutrition. But it helps you keep going, especially when it is the fruit of teamwork, a true #DesignThinking laboratory.

Well done everyone, but above all our young readers around the world, who are the future of tomorrow.
