The Italian Youth Association for UNESCO is preparing to host an important academic meeting at the Department of Architecture and Territory – dArte of the Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, dedicated to the crucial theme of water as cultural heritage and a fundamental resource for environmental sustainability.
The main objective of the event will be to explore the connection between water, culture and sustainability, in line with the goals of the 2030 Agenda. Through contributions from experts and academic speakers, the role of water will be examined not only as a vital element for human life, but also as a determining factor in the preservation of cultural identities and local traditions.
In a context where climate change and water scarcity pose unprecedented challenges, reflecting on sustainable practices becomes essential. The event is therefore intended as an important opportunity to stimulate a constructive and informed debate on how to protect this precious heritage.
The active participation of students will be essential to enrich the discussion and foster an intergenerational dialogue, underlining the importance of joining forces and knowledge to safeguard a heritage that is essential not only for present generations, but also for future ones.
The event promises to be an important opportunity for cultural and social growth, and the AIGU members of the Calabria Region: Pietro Bova, Maria Lorenza Crupi and Roberto Modafferi, together with Giovanna Zampogna of the Sidri National Council, will make an important contribution to the debate with their experience and expertise. Join us to discuss a theme that concerns us all: water as a heritage to be protected and valued.
