Road to Parma is the exploration of a new way of thinking about sustainability, one that places the perspective of the younger generations at its centre, to chart the path of change towards the Italian Youth Forum Parma 2021 and build a possible future together.
Starting on 16 December, in a series of digital meetings, the Italian Youth Association for UNESCO interviews outstanding guests who in recent years have distinguished themselves in their fields, becoming ambassadors of a sustainable lifestyle thanks to the use of innovative technologies and the centrality of people and relationships.
The events are live on the webcast platform of Fondazione Iris Ceramica Group, partner of the Italian Youth Forum Parma 2021.

THE MANIFESTO OF SENSITIVE RATIONALITY
Fabio Ferrari, President of Ammagamma
Luca Perri, astrophysicist and science communicator
In conversation with Ilaria Dall’Olio and Giovanni Vazzana of AIGU Emilia-Romagna
Technology alone is not enough: harmony, elegance and intelligence are needed to guide change. From this vision comes Ammagamma’s Manifesto of Sensitive Rationality, the declaration of a humanistic conception of artificial intelligence.
In a meeting set to the rhythm of science and sustainability, Fabio Ferrari, President of Ammagamma, and Luca Perri, a young astrophysicist and science communicator, will answer the questions and curiosities of AIGU’s young members to understand how mathematics can put people at the centre and produce culture and knowledge.
Fabio Ferrari founded Ammagamma 7 years ago, a company that creates innovative models through advanced mathematical solutions to improve the efficiency and sustainability of business processes.
Luca Perri is an astrophysicist and science communicator on radio, television, in print, at festivals, on social networks and through citizen science experiments.
