President Michele Capasso presented the Euromesco Network, co-founded by the Fondazione Mediterraneo, at an event with young university students on Labour Day.
In a world plagued by misinformation, manipulation, and competing narratives, where major powers are striving to control the narrative and sway public opinion, the Mediterranean becomes a battleground of ideas with a gap of narratives between both shores. With a growing sense of hostility and mistrust in Euro- Mediterranean relations, strategic communication becomes critical. The platform will gather communication experts, media analysts and policymakers to dissect, analyse, expose and understand narratives, perceptions, and disinformation to find innovative approaches to Strategic Communication as a tool to enhance Euro-Mediterranean relations.

The IN/Arch-National Institute of Architecture-with the patronage of the United States of the World and the Fondazione Mediterraneo-organized on Monday, April 29, 2024 at 3 p.m. at Palazzo Giustiniani, Presidency of the Senate of the Republic-Rome, this meeting to focus on the issue of the quality of design of living environments as a primary interest for the whole community and to demonstrate its concrete influence on sociality, well-being, economy, safety, protection of nature and historical places.
The proposal for a “European Design Code aimed at the quality of living environments” is designed to make concrete some principles of design, building on a human scale and the environment; values, these, widely shared but unfortunately unimplemented, although constantly affirmed in normative and ministerial policy statements. The initiative originated in the event “Seed - Design Action for the Future,” held a year ago in Perugia, one of nine “Architecture Festivals 2023” promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture. The proposal, which was also discussed in important international public contexts, was presented and brought to the attention of a large gathering of international designers and administrators by the magazine “Le Carré Bleu, feuille internationale d’architecture”.

Parent Category: Iniziative (EN) - Category: Maison de la Paix (EN)

"I am here to share!": with these words, at 8 a.m., Pope Francis lands in the women's prison of Giudecca. 
We are invited to attend the Pope's brief visit at various stages: a small delegation from the "United States of the World" participates in the events that characterise an important day. 
Pope Francis' visit lasts only five hours, enough, however, to write an important page of history for a city like Venice, already a destination for papal presences.
It begins well ahead of schedule, starting right from the Prison. For Pope Francis it is the first time in Venice, for the city it is the fourth Pope to visit it, the first ever to visit the Art Biennale. The route winds its way through calli and canals starting from the Holy See pavilion set up in the Giudecca prison.
