      “Dopo  il colpo di stato del 1 febbraio 2021, che ha sospeso le relazioni dirette tra la Città di Torino e la Città di Yangon, la Città di Torino ha continuato a sostenere le attività rivolte alla popolazione birmana, dopo aver realizzato attività di sostenibilità ambientale con il progetto SUMP (cfr. sotto).

      In particolare, attraverso […] la realizzazione del progetto internazionale di ricerca e della relativa conferenza internazionale “Myanmar: One year after the coup” promossa con T.wai. Due le eredità di questo progetto: l’acquisizione del metodo cliniche mobili nel patrimonio della cooperazione della Città di Torino e la pubblicazione dal titolo MYANMAR AFTER THE COUP, resistance, resilience, and re-invention.”
