Beauty · Utopia · The pursuit of happiness
Advanced training starts from the beauty of Mediterranean thought, from Pythagoras to the tradition of civil economy. Its utopia is peace understood as a skill to be studied and practised: negotiation, mediation, cooperation between institutions. Happiness lies in the relationships that last after the course: colleagues on another continent, projects that continue, young Calabrians abroad who rediscover their homeland.
