Beneventi leads workshops in which kids of all ages experience storytelling and writing books, the natural and human environments, the active use of technology for knowledge, communication, production, and networking, in collaboration with schools, libraries and agencies operating in the society, during truly multimedia experiences (body + image + text + sound + video). Over the years, he published articles and books on theater and body expression, environment, technology in education and communication, as well as fiction books for children. He’s also a media educator and video maker.
