\n The excellence of a provincial school. IIS ‘Don Geremia Piscopo’ from Arzano will be the sole representative of Italy at the 17th edition of ‘Your Europe, Your Say’, the annual event of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) aimed at connecting young people from all EU member states, candidate countries, and the United Kingdom, scheduled for March 19 and 20 in Brussels.<\/p>\n
Representing Italy will be Samuele Canzonieri, a fourth-year IT student, accompanied by Professor Maria Lucia Pannella, both teacher and coordinator. To understand the rigor of the selection committee, after a thorough analysis of the schools\u2019 proposals and curricula, only 37 out of three thousand applications were accepted\u2014one school per EU member state.<\/p>\n
Satisfaction<\/p>\n
“Aside from understandable satisfaction,” commented Principal Carmela Ferrara, “the most important aspect of being chosen to represent Italy is the recognition of the work carried out by this institute, which for years has charted a path of internationalization, becoming a key player in Europe through Erasmus projects as well as various international partnerships.”<\/p>\n
The Meeting<\/p>\n
The prelude to the Brussels conference took place on Monday, when ‘Don Geremia Piscopo’ hosted the national director of Legacoop, also a representative of the EESC (European Economic and Social Committee), a consultative body of the European Union that acts as a bridge between EU institutions and ‘organized civil society.’<\/p>\n
The meeting focused on the Committee\u2019s role within the European Union, followed by topics of active citizenship and opportunities for dialogue between youth and institutions. Now, after having hosted sixty students from seven countries two years ago for a Model United Nations simulation, the Arzano school will be the protagonist and spokesperson for the concerns of young Italians in one of the \u201csanctuaries\u201d of Europeanism, namely the ‘Jacques Delors’ building. During an intense two-day event, they will participate in debates, workshops, and discussions to reflect on the possible contributions of young people to greater democratic participation and inclusive dialogue.<\/p>\n
The participating students will thus have the opportunity to develop ideas and skills, culminating in a final assembly to identify the main priorities, which will then be translated into policy recommendations. It will be a true exercise in democratic representation, working as a real European youth assembly to develop concrete proposals to be submitted to the European Commission and the European Parliament, and which the EESC will also integrate into its future consultative work for the next EU youth strategy. <\/p>\n
