Which means do we need for talking about waste in Europe?


by Giuseppe Totaro

The workshop “Environmental communication about waste in Europe: which means, which messages for which goals” will be held in Ravenna on September, 29. It has been organized by Consorzio Bacino Padova 2 in collaboration with AICA (International Environmental Communication Association). The initiative will take place in the home room of the “Ordine della casa Matha” (via Andrea Costa, 3), and it’s part of Ravenna 2011 festival on waste, energy and water policies.

The most effective ways of communicating about waste will be the principal matter of the meeting, holding the European Week for Waste Reduction as an example. During the last three years, EWWR has involved more than 1200 individuals and organizations, including national and international agencies, institutions, authorities, NGOs, schools, Universities, companies and firms.

The workshop will go through two different moments: the first one will be focused on EWWR experience and the impact of waste reduction in Italy. Andrea Atzori (Novambiente editor in chief) will moderate over a debate with Rosa Puig (AICA) and Gianluca Cencia (Federambiente CEO).

Later on, past EWWRs guests will report their experiences and accounts: Gallipoli Municipality (finalist at the European 2010 Prize for Public Administration), Pozzuoli 7th Didactic Circle (winner of the 2009 European Prize for schools), Apeiron Association (2010 finalist) and Mario Sunseri and Gigi Russo (organizers of the Busker Festival, appointed as an environmentally sustainable project).

Work will start at 9 a.m. with guests registration and will end at 1 p.m.
