BAM Workshop KIDS: Orti KIDS - Coltiviamo Insieme
2025-04-08 - 2025-09-30 | giardino De Castillia 28, Via Gaetano de Castillia, 18-20, Milano, MI, 22010, Italia
This year, together with the children, we will work not only with vegetables and cut flowers, but insects as well!
By growing vegetables and flowers, kids learn the basics of farming and the importance of biodiversity and sustainability. Cultivating a garden teaches children to take care of plants, to understand the natural cycles and to respect the environment. And also to develop collaboration.
Flowers, with their colours and fragrances, enrich the garden and attract helpful insects such as the pollinators, creating an environment full of life and beauty. We will also learn a lot about the importance of these insects.
Pollinating insects are those insects that transport pollen from one flower to another, allowing impollination and the resulting formation of the fruit. They play a crucial role in the world’s ecology as they are responsible for the impollination of over 80% of wild plants, in this way ensuring their survival.
A garden for kids is therefore a place where they can grow, learn and have fun.
What are you waiting for? Sign up!

After five years of walks inside the park aimed at discovering the botanical collection of the Biblioteca degli Alberi and this park’s relationship with the traditions and modernity of the neighbourhood, in 2025 all of BAM’s monthly walks will begin by observing the Oasis for Insects and Butterflies to get a closer look at how the biodiversity of the park contributes to the city’s ecological balance. This corner of the park, designed as a refuge for urban micro-fauna, hosts 90 varieties of roses, including the BAM Rose, and plants selected to attract pollinating insects.
Every last Sunday of the month will have a different focus to discover peculiarities on branches, leaves and fruit through the seasons with some of the experts who have contributed to building this garden!

BAMoff Performing Arts: Spontaneous Rituals Original Sound from a Future World
2025-06-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Volvo Studio Milano, Italia
On Thursday, 19 June the BAMoff event at Volvo Studio Milano will be back!
The coming together of personal heritage, traditional sounds and travels around the world: these spontaneous rituals are created as a tribute to everyone who secretly or publicly resists and as a collective path to share in the ritual of the concert.
The musicians Dudù Kouate, heir of the Griot tradition, and Simon Sieger have discovered that they share a common desire: to mix traditional sounds in an imaginary world. As the music gradually came to life, it became obvious that they were joined by one aspiration coming both from their jazz background and their personal experiences. This aspiration is directed at a spirit of resistance to a materialistic world, by seeking values in rituals, hidden in everyday actions and in secret dreams that go beyond.

BAM Summer Festival
2025-06-22 | Biblioteca degli Alberi, Via Gaetano de Castillia, Milano, Milano, 22010, Italia

È un’occasione unica per creare un dialogo vero, umano, che supera pregiudizi e distanze. Un incontro a tu per tu per conoscersi meglio, entrare in empatia e scoprire che dietro ogni storia c’è una persona, proprio come te.
Ci saranno due momenti di condivisione:
