There
are initiatives for students as well as for docents:
1) among
academicians:
"Research
for new Events", such as meetings, conventions and conferences among
academicians, scholars and experts in various fields, aimed to establish the
first contacts among academicians and experts for future relationships of
co-operation, to settle the basement for following cultural high level
initiatives or new traditional students workshops, to be carried out both in
Florence than in other towns
2)
among students:
"Practical
application of the Research", namely traditional students' workshops, aimed
to the principles of international integration among youth, according to the
relevant Regulation - in standard characters.
They represent the main activity of the Foundation: international
integration without competition, by respecting each cultural identiy. Each
weekly workshop has a peculiar subject in one specific cultural field (architecture,
urban, environment, world heritage, science and techniques, artistic
expressiveness, communication, economics, music, theatre, medicine and
fashion and others). Each workshop is suggested by one of the 127 Experts of
the Foundation
To each students' workshop is required the participation of
minimum 3, maximum 5 faculties
coming from different
countries, each of them represented by
maximum 8 students accompanied by one professor.
Each workshop is made up by 3
different phases:
1) BEFORE the workshop: each group of university students from a
different country must prepare a preliminary work, to be presented in
Florence to all the other students participating and to be delivered to the
Foundation
2) DURING the workshop in Florence: there will be formed different
mixed groups of students (in each group there will be a representative from
each university); each student will co-operate with his own international
group to present a final work at the end of the week
3) AFTER the workshop: once coming back home, each national group
of university students will prepare a final version of the project,
according to the international experience and knowledge received during
their stay in Florence; the Foundation will receive the final works within
60 days and prize the best work.
The difference between BEFORE and AFTER represents the result of
the Foundation's activity; in other words the contribution to the spreading
among youth of the principles of respect of each cultural identity and their
valorisation: for "a past to know together, a common future to build".
Professors are supervisor of this evolution.
