This project, created by Eni in collaboration with the Collisioni Festival and Aria di Friuli Venezia Giulia, is giving hundreds of youngsters from all over Italy, and especially from the most deprived areas of the country, to stay free of charge during the festival. They will undergo a selection process and be divided up into specific training activities. At the heart of the project is the aim to get the young people involved in creative activities and real life working groups, assisted by professionals. This will place the youngsters at the heart of the festival, where they will perform collaborative and specific roles, and have access to professional training Music, Photography, Video Making and Children’s Workshops Debate on the topic of public education in Italy In addition, the festival will include a moment of reflection dedicated to the topic of the current state of public education in Italy, featuring authors, headmasters, teachers and students. In light of the numerous debates that have set Italian politics alight in recent months following the recent school reforms, it is important to understand how to export and standardise the most innovative experiences and make even the most peripheral schools more efficient, so that the right to an excellent education and the duty to provide it can be applied to all young people in Italy 43 The exclusive producers of prosciutto di San Daniele: A&B Prosciutti, Negroni, Alcisa Italia, Nuova Mondial, Arbea, Principe di San Daniele, Dok Dall’Ava, Prosciutti 4 Stagioni, Eli Prosciutti, Prosciutti Coradazzi, Filiera Uno Prosciutti, Prosciuttifici Picaron, Framon, Prosciuttificio Bagatto, Io Prosciutto, Prosciuttificio Friulano San Daniele, King’s, La Casa del Prosciutto “Alberti”, Prosciuttificio Prolongo, Prosciuttificio Zanini, La Glacere, Leoncini Prosciutti, Levoni, Prosciuttificio Il Camarin, Selva Alimentari, Testa & Molinaro Morgante, Consorzio del Prosciutto di San Daniele Via Umberto I, 26 - San Daniele del Friuli (UD) - Italia T +39 0432 957515 F +39 0432 940187 [email protected] - www.prosciuttosandaniele.it 44
