The interactive web-documentary “Demal te niew” (Go and come back in Wolof) mixes different media and languages and it is aimed at overturning the European perspective on migration. "Demal te niew" adopts an original standpoint: it focuses on the stories of return migrants from Italy to Senegal.

We interviewed Dino Pedreschi in Pisa during Internet Festival 2016. He talked about data scientist: "We are living a revolution. All industrial revolutions destroys old jobs but at the same time creates new ones. Now we need data scientists, people who can find, analyse, understand data and tell stories around them. Through our master we are trying to create the best data scientists".
