WHAT IS “ENJOY THE DIFFERENCE” (ETD)?
ENJOY THE DIFFERENCE is a project which started in 2011 from the collaboration between a group of students and professors of the University of Turin, Comune di Torino – Servizio Passpartout and some organizations.
The primary aim of ETD is combining students’ need to find accommodation at a reasonable price with the need of promoting independent life for disabled people, through providing accommodation and improving the social network. The people involved, university students and young people with motor or sensory disabilities, will be housemates on equal terms for a year, during which there won’t be any specific schedule to stick to. The project is for students of the University of Turin and for young disabled people, forming mixed groups of housemates.
WHY “ENJOY THE DIFFERENCE”?
The challenge is to show difference as an opportunity:
ETD wants to promote a change of perspective: students and disabled young people together to overcome stereotypes and clichés. Disabled young people wanting to have fun and live their life instead of suffering because of their limitations, and students with a sense of responsibility, ideas for the future and the ability to invent new ways of participating, instead of listless and passive people who drag themselves from one classroom to the next.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
All university students and young people with motor or sensory disabilities who are looking for accommodation can apply to become future housemates!

After being closed for 558 days, shovelling hundreds of kilos of mud, and uncountable hours of work, Murazzi Student Zone is reborn, with a Re-Start that presented the completely renovated study room.
A year and a half ago, the Po River burst its banks, flooding the Murazzi arches. It was November 24, 2016, after days of torrential rain, when the Murazzi Student Zone was submerged: the big wooden gate was unhinged and tables, chairs and furniture were carried away.
Since its first opening on May 10, 2013, the Murazzi Student Zone has been a reference point for the student community of Turin and for freelancers, having a large number of talks, book presentations, exhibitions and courses, alongside the study room.
After being closed for 558 days, shovelling hundreds of kilos of mud, and uncountable hours of work, the Murazzi Student Zone is reborn, with a Re-Start that presented the completely renovated study room. Since November 2017, in fact, renovation work has restored electrical systems and plaster, as well as entrances, furniture and bathrooms.
Last Wednesday, June 6, 2018, the area was given back to the citizens, or rather, to those “special citizens” who are the students, as councillor Marco Giusta defined them. “I’m dedicating this day to everyone who made this place become a reference point again, for studying and having fun, and the next exam session makes it an even more important area for all students”, he added. At the presentation press conference there was also Sergio Scamuzzi, vice dean for University Communication of the University of Turin: “If the Murazzi Student Zone didn’t exist, we would have to invent it”, he said.
A part of the city reopening, a place for studying, concentrating and sharing for many students who are getting ready to face the summer exams. An area of 650 square meters, coloured and lively, with a capacity of 270 people and free wi-fi. Everything located under ancient arches, along the constantly-flowing river and the vegetation of city parks.
Murazzi Student Zone is a project promoted by Città di Torino and the service for university guidance StudyinTorino.

Thanks to the allocation of over 50 thousand euros, the Murazzi Student Zone will be a reference point again, a welcoming and pleasant space along the Po River where young people and students can meet and study.
Following the disastrous effects of the 2016 flood, which made the building condemned, on November 25, 2017, an exact year later, renovation work began. Today, it finally ended. The electrical systems have been restored, as well as plaster; entrances; furniture and bathrooms.
Making the study room available is a part of the redevelopment of the arches of Murazzi del Po, where especially university students often hang out.

Huge success for the initiative of the Student Senate in collaboration with the Museum Subscription Association (Associazione Abbonamento Musei): from 19th to 26th March, more than 3000 special discount coupons of the Turin-Piedmont Museum Subscription card have been handed over to the students attending the Università degli Studi di Torino.
The distribution of the card took place in all the faculties and study hubs of the University of Turin. Hundreds of students from the faculties of Agricultural sciences, Economics, Physics, Jurisprudence and Human sciences have patiently stood in line for hours in order to get one of the Museum Subscription Voucher for the discounted price of 11,50 euro for buying a new subscription.
Once they have got the voucher, students will have to load or to renew the subscription directly on their university Smart Card or on the Pyou card within 3 months from the distribution in one of the points of sale of the Museum Subscription network.
