    Trent’anni di chiavi di lettura Siamo arrivati ai trent’anni, quindi siamo in quell’età in cui ci sentiamo maturi senza esserlo del tutto e abbiamo tantissime energie da spendere per il futuro. Sono energie positive, che vengono dal sostegno e dal riconoscimento che il cammino fin qui percorso per far crescere ArtePadova da quella piccola edizio- ne inaugurale del 1990, ci sta portando nella giusta direzione. Siamo qui a rap- presentare in campo nazionale, al meglio per le nostre forze, un settore difficile per il quale non è ammessa l’improvvisazione, ma serve la politica dei piccoli passi; siamo qui a dimostrare con i dati di questa edizione del 2019, che siamo stati seguiti con apprezzamento da un numero crescente di galleristi, di artisti, di appassionati cultori dell’arte. E possiamo anche dire, con un po’ di vanto, che negli anni abbiamo dato il nostro contributo di conoscenza per diffondere tra giovani e meno giovani l’amore per l’arte moderna: a volte snobbata, a volte non compresa, ma sempre motivo di dibattito e di curiosità. Un tentativo questo che da qualche tempo stiamo incentivando con l’apertura ai giovani artisti pro- ponendo anche un’arte accessibile a tutte le tasche: tanto che nei nostri spazi figurano, democraticamente fianco a fianco, opere da decine di migliaia di euro di valore ed altre che si fermano a poche centinaia di euro. Se abbiamo attraversato indenni il confine tra due secoli con le sue crisi, è per- ché l’arte è sì bene rifugio, ma sostanzialmente rappresenta il bello, dimostra che l’uomo è capace di grandi azzardi e di mettersi sempre in gioco sperimen- tando forme nuove di espressione; l’arte è tecnica e insieme fantasia, ovvero un connubio unico e per questo quasi magico tra terra e cielo.

La mostra prosegue la fortunata serie “Classici del contemporaneo” dedicata al collezionismo della nostra provincia, che ha già proposto artisti come Kolàr, Demarco, Fontana, Munari, Birolli, Dorazio, Vedova, Fieschi, Adami, Baj ed esponenti della Nuova Figurazione. La curatrice della rassegna, la storica dell’arte Alessandra Corna Pellegrini, ha selezionato un nucleo essenziale di opere (34) che rappresentano esempi molto significativi dell’esperienza e del linguaggio di un movimento pur tanto complesso e così difficile da circoscrivere come l’Informale e dimostrano l’alta qualità delle collezioni bresciane, sia pubbliche sia private.

  • Prof Vrati, Representatives from the Government of India, Colleagues from the RCB, Participants in the Various Science Competitions, Ladies and Gentlemen
    ‘Celebrating World Science Day’ Tuesday, 5 November 2019, UNESCO Regional Biotechnology Centre, New Delhi Address by Mr Eric Falt Director and UNESCO Representative for India, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka Prof Vrati, Representatives from the Government of India, Colleagues from the RCB, Participants in the various science competitions, Ladies and gentlemen, It is a pleasure to be here at RCB once again today. Each time I come here, this campus has grown, and the progress made in 5 years since the campus was started, is truly remarkable. In view of the planned visit of the UNESCO Director-General next year, I sincerely hope that she can also visit this UNESCO category 2 centre. Today we are here to celebrate world science day for peace and development. At the same time, we celebrate individual and team achievements in promoting science, notably teams of young scientists who have come up with innovative solutions to address specific SDGs. It is not a coincidence that the two events are held together. When UNESCO was created in 1945, a late decision was made to include Science in our mandate. This was because with the industrial revolution and 2 world wars came a growing realization that science was capable of great contributions but that it also comes with great responsibility and indeed risks for humankind. Today that mix of optimism and caution is more relevant than ever. We have been able to develop worldwide computer and communication networks, fast transport that takes us across the world in a few hours. We even go to other planets.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon
    LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCI A TION Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon The Lebanese Transparency Association P.O. Box 05-005, Baabda , Lebanon Tel/Fax: 169-9-510590; 169-9515501 [email protected] www.transparency-lebanon.org The Lebanese Transparency Association PO Box 05 005 Baabda, Lebanon Telephone +169 9 510590 • Fax +169 9 515501 www.transparency-lebanon.org LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCIATION Introduction Corporate social responsibility (CSR) at its best practice can be defined as the overall management process that accompanies all the efforts of an organization within the limits of a certain ethical conduct. CSR starts internally within the organization as a set of beliefs and values of all the human resource. In such a case the organization will naturally communicate those ethical values through: 1. Personal interaction level (Meetings, promotions, events, media gatherings) 2. Corporate communications (press releases, webpage, print communications, product labels, advertising campaigns, brand building strategies, corporate logo) In effect and as illustrated in Fig 1, these communicated beliefs will result in added trust towards the organizations’ overall image and will potentially increase business and sustain development in the long run. In the ideal case, CSR is conducted as part of and adapted to the business strategy and vision, which is normally defined by the top management. According to the St. Galler Management Concept (University of St. Gallen, Bleicher 1991), these principles should be realized by the strategical and operational management levels. The whole strategy is therefore conducted by the whole company and becomes a part of the company’s identity. To act socially responsible and to integrate CSR in a businesses’ strategy has eventually the aim of increasing sales revenues and achieving profits, as opposed to purely philanthropic actions.

  • Observing International Youth Day 2019 'Transforming Education'
    OBSERVING INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2019 ‘TRANSFORMING EDUCATION’ Friday 9 August 2019 UNESCO Auditorium, 1 San Martin Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 1. INTRODUCTION In 1999, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 12 August as International Youth Day. The Day serves as an annual celebration of the role of young women and men as essential partners for change, and an opportunity to build awareness about contemporary challenges facing youth. The theme for International Youth Day 2019 is ‘Transforming Education’, which highlights the importance of learning systems, the acquisition of information and knowledge, and the capacity development of youth. Rooted in Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’ – International Youth Day 2019 will examine how young people, youth‐focused organizations and other stakeholders are transforming educational practices, tools and services in order to help achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 2. YOUTH ENGAGEMENT @ UNESCO UNESCO’s youth‐related interventions are guided by the organization’s Operational Strategy on Youth 2014–2021. This strategic framework recognizes youth as equal actors and partners for development and peace, and encourages the mainstreaming of youth in all actions and programmes. UNESCO promotes youth‐led action and strengthens the capacities of young leaders and youth‐led organizations with a particular focus on activities within the organization’s mandated areas of work that help strengthen civic participation, social innovation and democratic engagement. Globally, UNESCO manages a wide range of youth engagement programmes. The organization has also begun in several member states to facilitate the formulation of public policies with the participation of youth.
