Professor Patrizio Bianchi - Minister of Education of the Republic of Italy - received the "Mediterranean Award for Education for Sustainability - 2022."
The ceremony was held in Pescasseroli in the presence of political, institutional, religious and military authorities and - above all - many schoolchildren.
"I am honored for this Award that I share with all those who have supported me in affirming education for sustainability as a fundamental pillar for the future of young people. I share and support the program dedicated to the ecological conversion of the United States of the World: an action that with great foresight was undertaken in the early 1990s of the last century when few were calling attention to the urgency of safeguarding the planet," said Minister Bianchi upon receiving the award from Secretary General Michele Capasso.
