#FestaEuVenezia2024
THURSDAY 9 - FRIDAY 10 - SATURDAY 11 MAY
"International Festival of European Geopolitics"
Auditorium M9, Via G. Pascoli 11, Mestre
Free event subject to reservation to info@festivalgeopolitica.it
Three days of meetings and debates on the role of Italy and Europe in world governance, with many national and international personalities.
After the first successful edition in 2023, the International Festival of European Geopolitics is a significant appointment of in-depth study and dissemination concerning geostrategic policies from the point of view not of the single national reality but from the ultra-state and European one. This does not mean ignoring the role and contribution of Italy with its specific history, its cultural and anthropological identity, its economic and productive interests, but placing them in an enlarged continental context, as is essential at this historical juncture.
The aim of the project is to bring even seemingly different worlds and sectors together to tackle a complex topic and make it accessible to all.
Sectors and topics:
Diplomacy and International Relations
Economy and Finance
Environment
Cultural Heritage and Tourism
Security, Defence and Intelligence
Rights, Humanitarian Defence, NGOs
Information and Journalism
The event is also streamed live on the Facebook pages of the Festival and the City of Venice
