Theatrical mediation paths
aimed at students and adults, whose objective is to prepare the spectator to watch the show, encourage their involvement and stimulate their critical sense.
Curated by
Elisabetta Proietti and Mauro Pietrini
ConDivisions is a workshop for the promotion of pedagogical, practical and theoretical initiatives, managed by theatrical mediators and professionals in the artistic sector, a space and context that allow young audiences to become an intelligent and responsible choir through speeches, cultural and creative reflections around shows. Children's curiosity is stimulated through playful and pedagogical interventions, while waiting for the artistic event, in sharing the here and now of the action, and in the afterlife.
For the 68th edition of the Festival, the cultural mediation project takes place in collaboration with the “Sansi Leonardi Volta” High School in Spoleto, which provides spaces for meetings and is reserved for secondary school students in the city.
Participation in the project and in the selected shows is free.

An accessible and inclusive Festival
“I Luoghi del Festival – Senza Frontiere” is the project through which the Festival dei Due Mondi broadens and diversifies its audience, promoting an increasingly accessible and inclusive cultural experience. Through dedicated workshops, audio descriptions, and tactile pathways, the initiative enables meaningful engagement with performances for people with intellectual and sensory disabilities of all ages.
In continuity with recent editions, collaboration with the Spoleto 2 Comprehensive Institute is strengthened through an educational programme that actively involves students in designing accessible tools and content. Pupils contribute to the creation of tactile maps and historical-artistic descriptions of Festival venues, playing a direct role in building an inclusive cultural experience.
As accessible guides, students also accompany audiences on stage before performances begin, leading a discovery journey through sets, costumes, and props – an immersive experience that brings new audiences closer to theatre while breaking down barriers and encouraging broader participation.
The project is supported by the Fondazione Festival dei Due Mondi di Spoleto and the Lions Club Spoleto.

Urban trekking through history and landscape
The Festival dei Due Mondi, in collaboration with Arpa Umbria and the Municipality of Spoleto, presents Le vie dell’acqua, a free itinerant project exploring the cultural and environmental heritage of the historic city centre.
This themed urban trek guides participants along a route discovering historic fountains, springs, and public water points – bringing to light a precious and identity-defining network, and offering a fresh perspective on Spoleto’s urban fabric and history.
Le vie dell’acqua forms part of a contemporary narrative of walking as an act of discovery and awareness, revealing an unexpected Spoleto shaped by landscapes waiting to be rediscovered.
