Dear Friends of the Italian Network, It is with great pleasure that I invite you all to the press conference and show called: "The Shoe Must Go On" on 25 and 26 May, which is one of the two final outcomes of "Acting Diversity", an intercultural theatre project from political refugees and young people co-financed by the Anna Lindh Foundation. After meetings in Marseille and in preparation for the Venetian days, which we would like to inform you about in more detail through this project, it seems a wonderful idea to have your direct participation in this journey we have undertake that makes an important connection between theatre and intercultural dialogue focusing on the asset of diversity. The project is inserted into our Schools Festival, which is host to more than 2700 children from all over Italy every year. If you would like to come and/or help us spread the good news…we would be very grateful. Warmest regards, while looking forward to Venice. Micaela Casalboni
