ROM-E

Three editions of sustainable creativity

For three consecutive editions, Echo Labs brought ideas and creativity to ROM-E, transforming Villa Borghese Park into a hub for raising awareness about sustainability. This three-year journey combined education, design, and concrete action, engaging children, students, and adults in hands-on creative activities.
In 2023, we introduced new experiences and collaborations with partners such as Linaria and Laboratorio Linfa. Biodiversity and eco-design became central themes, inviting people of all ages to take part in more interactive and in-depth experiences.
The 2024 edition focused on the future, addressing topics such as design and urban regeneration. Participants were encouraged to imagine sustainable solutions that combine creativity with environmental responsibility.

Our activities

  • Creation of seed bombs, bee bars, bug hotels, and birdhouses.
  • Eco-design and woodworking workshops for children and adults, using materials recovered from the logistics supply chain.
  • Upcycling and urban design workshops focused on exploring urban regeneration.
  • Talk shows and discussions dedicated to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.
  • Art installations and innovative set-ups made with recycled materials and flowers.
