RootUp is the app that connects students, associations and small local organizations to create meaningful summer experiences with educational, social and cultural value.
Choose a local activity, help your city, collect skills and memories.
RootUp transforms summer in the city into a meaningful and shared time. Many students stay in Milan without truly valuable opportunities, while associations, neighbourhood museums and small cultural spaces need energy, presence and digital skills.
Students choose short, accessible and certified experiences: support for events, reception activities, digital storytelling, micro-volunteering, urban itineraries and cultural promotion.
RootUp experiences help students explore Milan, meet people, develop soft skills and give something back to the community through sustainable mobility and active citizenship.
