#FestaEuVenezia2020

On Saturday 9th, May 2020 at ore 10.00 a.m. the Award cerimony of the competition "Become european citizens" - school year 2019-2020 edition was held. The event was realised in collaboration with MIUR-USR Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per il Veneto and MFE Movimento Federalista Europeo and with the support of Liceo Stefanini of Venice; in the presence of the President of the City Council, Ermelinda Damiano, who opened her contribution with a focus on the significance of today’s  date, 9 May 2020, which marks the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration recognized as the birth of the European Union in occasion of the Paris speech. 

It is possible to watch the whole awarding cerimony at the following link in the You Tube channel of the City of Venice. 

"Today a Europe of young people that gives hope for the future has emerged - as underlined by President Damiano - . A European Union of solidarity and sustainability where European citizenship means shared responsibility."

A minute of silence was dedicated to the late David Frisoli, who died just a month ago, on April 9th, of coronavirus, a valid school manager of various Venetian Institutes, from which two of the winners come, a sign that the European seed sown by him is bearing fruit.
