At Istituto Marangoni Milano Design, education extends far beyond the classroom. The student journey here is not only about acquiring technical skills and academic knowledge—it’s also about building meaningful connections, discovering new passions, and fully experiencing life as part of a vibrant creative community.

Throughout the 2024/2025 academic year, and thanks to the constant support of the Student Desk department, the school offered a diverse and carefully curated calendar of extracurricular activities. These experiences allowed students to explore the city, express themselves, and connect with peers in ways that deeply enriched their time at Marangoni.

Cinema, Culture and Community

Two dedicated movie nights at Anteo Cinema gave students the opportunity to enjoy a shared cultural experience in a welcoming and engaging environment. These evenings encouraged conversation, reflection, and a sense of togetherness outside the academic routine.

Movement and Wellbeing

At Gyru Studio, students participated in a high-energy indoor cycling class, combining physical wellbeing with music and motivation. It was an ideal break from study—revitalizing both body and mind while fostering group spirit.

Italian Culinary Tradition

One of the most appreciated moments was a hands-on cooking class at Mi Scusi, where students learned to prepare traditional Italian pasta. The experience blended culture, gastronomy, and fun in a way that reflected both Milanese life and international community values.

A Day in Florence

A highlight of the year was the day trip to Florence, which included a guided walking tour of the historic center followed by an exclusive aperitivo at Gucci Garden. It was a journey into art, fashion, and Italian heritage, offering students a rich blend of inspiration and social connection.

Creative Workshops on Campus

The school’s campus also served as a hub for artistic and personal exploration through a variety of creative workshops:

• Henna tattoo session by a professional artist

• A smartphone case customization workshop

• A hands-on origami lab focusing on mindfulness and visual storytelling

Each of these sessions gave students the chance to express their creativity and unwind in a collaborative, open setting.

The Rise of the MID Sport Club

One of the most exciting new additions this year was the creation of the MID Sport Club, an initiative born directly from student enthusiasm and developed with the support of the Student Desk. The club now includes three active groups: five-a-side football, beach volleyball, and basketball. Weekly games and training sessions have become a dynamic space for students to engage socially, stay active, and develop strong teamwork skills.

More Than a School

At Istituto Marangoni Milano Design, life outside the classroom is seen as essential to the learning process. These extracurricular activities are not simply a supplement—they are a key component of a student’s personal and professional development.

Through cultural immersion, physical activity, artistic exploration, and community-building, students are encouraged to grow as individuals and as future designers. In this environment, every experience becomes part of a richer, more holistic education—one that prepares them not only for careers in design, but for life beyond it.
