The origin of the chemical anomalies in star clusters is still an open question, although much effort has been employed both from a theoretical and observational point of view. The exploration of the dependence of such multiple stellar populations based on certain cluster properties (e.g. mass, age, metallicity) has represented a compelling line of investigation so far. Here I report an overview of the results obtained from our latest surveys aimed at characterising the phenomenon of chemical variations in star clusters that are much younger with respect to the ancient globular clusters. The fundamental question we are asking is whether these abundance patterns are only restricted to the old massive clusters; and if not, is there a difference between young and old objects?
