It is back, improved with new contents. The interactive Social Wall is a digital map of the world shown on a large touch screen on which to view and launch the video contributions of the "sustainable travelers" who have responded to the call launched by the organizers to participate in the project as #InTransito’s special correspondents: sharing stories on travel experiences with a focus on the meaning of sustainable and ethical traveling. The map is planned to constantly grow thank to the contributions that will be added during the event.
