The second half of August has been a pleasant surprise at Expo Milano. Predicted as the month with the lowest attendance, the number of Expo visitors after "ferragosto" was incredibly high with peaks over 150,000 visitors per day.

It has been with great pleasure that the EU pavilion hosted for a week Radioimmaginaria. This webradio, for and by teenagers, is a very interesting and promising project giving full autonomy to young people radio broadcasting news in a way which is adapted to a young audience.

Radioimmaginaria è approdata ad Expo la mattina del 23 agosto 2015, un gruppo di 50 adolescenti armati di cuffie e curiosità con gli occhi aperti per non perdere nemmeno il più piccolo dettaglio.

The 7th coordination meeting with the participating EU Member States at Expo 2015 Milan took place on Friday 31th August in the European Union pavilion. This proficuous meeting introduced by Commissioner General Wilkinson and chaired by Deputy Commissioner General Giancarlo Caratti, was the occasion to make a first assessment of the first 4 months of Expo.

There is no doubt that Expo Milan has turned out as a great success of public and that the EU is gaining a lot out of its participation. Over the past few days, we have been experiencing a pretty amazing turn up at the EU pavilion. We even expect higher numbers in September when school trips will be organised. We are well in line with our forecast of 500,000 visitors which we are confident to exceed at the end of Expo.
