Giorgia Maria
Malandrino

My name is Giorgia Maria Malandrino, I am Italian, currently living in Israel

where I am studying for my MA at the Department of Environment & Earth

Science of Tel Aviv University, investigating the complex relationship

between conflicts and the transboundary dynamics which make the natural

resources a political issue, working with Palestinian, Israeli and Internationals

to cooperatively find solutions to the current global challenges. Besides

my studies, Being a Designer Research for Dalberg Design, a social impact

group working in developing countries was a fundamental experience for

my current life and professional path. Currently, I work as a research intern

for the Arava Institute of Environmental Studies located in the desert in

southern Israel, researching energy poverty and safety. At the same time, I

teach Design methodology at NABA University in Milan, and I am part of the

D&AD Impact Accelerator Program with my project Geoidentity: logging the

border, a universal system for study validation with an academic passport to

preserve one’s identity, which encompasses the objectives outlined in SDG

Target 4.7, including global citizenship education, environmental education,

climate migration, human rights education, focusing on displaced people,

and introducing academic data in passports as a part of our Identity.
