The Librarians Association represents and involves all the bookstores that interact with each other and coordinate with the Gruppo 24 ORE for the initiatives promoted in the program.

The project involves the synergy of various expertises: from the educational expertise expressed by 24 Ore Cultura to the technical-editorial skills brought by Radio 24.
STUDIO ANDROMEDA
For over forty years, Studio d'Arte Andromeda has been promoting art, specifically comics, illustration, and satire.
It is a stable reference point for the city and the province but ranges well beyond Italian and European borders thanks to its numerous initiatives such as the prestigious thirty-year-old "International Exhibition of Satire and Humor City of Trento."
Present since the first edition of the Festival dell'Economia, this year too it will bring its multiple activities to the space of Piazza Mostra: the caricatures by Umberto Rigotti, the Pop-ups by Tiziano Beber, the drawings by Gianlorenzo Ingrami, Marco Gavagnin, and the collective "These Women," the words of Roberto Rinaldi, and the notes of La signorina Sinforosa and the Music Art guitar duo, for a "4-day" of drawing, group activities, fun, and satire.
JUNIOR LAB - PLAY & LEARN
A space dedicated to learning and play: from fairy tales dedicated to financial education curated by the Caritro Foundation to the play area animated by volunteers from the Volkan Association - the Goblin's den of Trento. Guests of Junior Lab - Play & Learn will also include economist Luciano Canova and Adriano Attus, creative director of Il Sole 24 Ore, along with Il Sole 24 Ore journalist Marco Lo Conte, who will discuss "Uncle Scrooge's Economy: Disney Handbook of Financial Education."
School of Police: The Road for Everyone
