Open Doors

"Ciao Table greeting practice”

"Ciao Table greeting practice” every year it organises, in collaboration with Fondazione Maghetti, “Open Doors". "Ciao Table greeting practice””, a fair of associations offering leisure cultural activities run by volunteers.

The associations meet the public and involve them in fun board games, bridge, burraco, chess, singing, dancing and other cultural initiatives.

Here is the video from the 2025 edition:

Each association will have (free of charge) its own stand to display promotional materials and meet the public, immediately engaging them in games, singing, and information exchange. People of all ages who wish to spend their free time learning new things in company are invited to participate.

This is an original idea by "Ciao Table greeting practice” produced under the patronage of the City of Lugano, in collaboration with Fondazione Maghetti. We availed ourselves of the consultancy of SR Special Events Consulting and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (Bachelor in Leisure Management, Field Project). We also received the support of UBS, Banca Stato, and theatre companies such as Il Vicolo and Elena Andreoni.
