WPMI Marzo | Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?
Ciao!
L'appuntamento di **marzo** è per **mercoledì 11 alle 19** con un altro interessante talk in presenza, sempre al [Politecnico di Milano](https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B028'41.3%22N+9%C2%B013'43.6%22E/@45.478127,9.228763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d45.478127!4d9.228763?entry=ttu)!
Questo mese lo speaker sarà **Girolamo Giannatempo**, con il talk **Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?**
Nel mondo del design, l’accessibilità viene ancora troppo spesso vissuta come un insieme di regole da rispettare a malincuore, qualcosa che “rovina” l’estetica o limita la libertà progettuale.
Spoiler: non è così.
In questo talk parleremo di come progettare interfacce accessibili senza rinunciare alla qualità visiva, mostrando perché accessibilità ed estetica non solo possono convivere, ma possono rafforzarsi a vicenda.
Partendo da esempi concreti e scelte progettuali reali, vedremo cosa succede quando l’accessibilità viene integrata fin dalle prime fasi del progetto: meno compromessi, decisioni più consapevoli, soluzioni più solide e più facili da spiegare anche in azienda (sì, anche a quel collega scettico).
Ne parliamo insieme a Girolamo Giannatempo, designer di interfacce e certified web accessibility expert, che da anni aiuta aziende e team di design a rendere i loro siti web accessibili e inclusivi, senza sacrificare identità visiva e qualità dell’esperienza.
Una chiacchierata pensata per chiunque lavori su interfacce digitali e voglia portare l’accessibilità fuori dalla checklist e dentro il progetto

Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo?
Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone.
**Vuoi essere speaker?** Beh, nulla di più facile: **Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/)**. Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli.
Ci vediamo lì! 😉

📅 15 marzo
🕒 15:00 – 18:00
👥 Numero limitato
Ci sono momenti in cui la carriera funziona.
Eppure qualcosa dentro non risuona più.
Hai costruito competenze, responsabilità, riconoscimento.
Ma emerge una domanda più profonda:
**È davvero questa la direzione che voglio abitare?**
CAMBIA-MENTI è un workshop esperienziale di 3 ore dedicato a Manager e Leader che stanno attraversando una soglia evolutiva.
Non si tratta di cambiare lavoro.
Si tratta di cambiare osservatore.
Durante l’incontro lavoreremo su:
✔ Sogno vs Visione
✔ Linguaggio che limita vs linguaggio generativo
✔ Identità professionale in trasformazione
✔ Il Mandala della Visione
✔ Il primo passo concreto da compiere entro 72 ore
Non teoria.
Esperienza guidata, domande potenti, confronto autentico.
Uscirai con:
• Una Visione scritta
• Una direzione più chiara
• Un impegno concreto
• Un nuovo modo di osservarti
Il workshop sarà tenuto da **Loretta Stefano**, Mentore & Career Coach certificata ACC ICF, professionista con esperienza riconosciuta nell’ambito della formazione e del coaching e con quasi vent’anni nel settore finanziario e nella guida di team in contesti complessi.
Un approccio che unisce esperienza manageriale, profondità e concretezza.

✨Nate con la camicia.... personalizzata! ✨
✨ Nate con la camicia… personalizzata ✨
Hai una camicia semplice di cotone? oppure in alternativa una t-shirt?
Perfetto. Sta per diventare tutt’altro che semplice.
In questo workshop giochiamo con strass scintillanti, bottoni coloratissimi, toppe termoadesive e dettagli sorprendenti per trasformare una camicia bianca, nera o di jeans in un capo super personale, creativo e pieno di carattere.
Non serve saper cucire come una stilista né avere competenze tecniche: basta voglia di divertirsi, sperimentare e lasciare spazio alla fantasia. Mischiamo, proviamo, attacchiamo, cambiamo idea, aggiungiamo un tocco in più. Qui non esiste “troppo”, esiste solo “wow”.
Sarà un momento leggero, creativo e pieno di energia, dove ogni camicia racconta una storia diversa — la tua.
Perché nascere con la camicia è fortuna.
Personalizzarla è pura magia. 💫
Tu porta solo la tua camicia la voglia di rilassarti e un bel sorriso al resto ci penso io ☕🙂
Gruppo whatsapp : https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=wwt
Massimo 6 posti!
puoi inviare la quota di prenotazione con PayPal o Satispay o bonifico per prenotare il tuo posto.
🫰🏻Contributo di partecipazione 15€ compreso di tutti i materiali, la mia guida, acqua al tavolo e caffè di benvenuto ☕ se gradito.
🙏🏻Ti prego di confermare la tua presenza entro venerdì 13 marzo per poter confermare il tavolo.
Ulteriori consumazioni restano a carico del partecipante☕ 🍰🍪

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
