“Sud Vivo” – Depopulation Can Be Reversed

The demographic winter and the exodus of young people from the Mezzogiorno are the subject of this evening on Piazza Vittorio Veneto. The invited guests have launched projects against depopulation in different parts of southern Italy and will talk about their experiences.

On the panel are Nicola Morea (chair of the Fourth Committee for Education, Social, Health and Labour Policy of the Basilicata Region), Fabrizio Minnella (communications and external relations, Fondazione con il Sud), Eustachio Antezza (Associazione Energheia), Ilaria D’Auria (co-founder of Nuova Libbaneria Mediterranea), Vincenzo Smaldore (director of Openpolis), Michele Vivilecchia (I Ritornati) and Dalila Dimitri (Consorzio formativo Ulisse). The discussion is moderated by Mimmo Mazza, editor-in-chief of the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno.

The event is part of the programme of the Energheia literary prize and is under the patronage of the City of Matera. The discussion is in Italian.
