"We owe a lot to the sea. This message that starts from schools and young people is important, also because this link between sea and land means a message of a link between discovery and identity, between history and the future" This was said by the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, in Reggio Calabria on the sidelines of the National Festival of the Sea and Maritime Culture.
"It is here that Western civilization was born. But it is a message even more to remember what the sea has represented in the history of Italy", he said. "They understood well - he said - the spirit of this day which I strongly wanted to take place right here in Reggerio to give a signal of howCalabria is becoming more and more central in our nation", he added. "it is important to safeguard what is a wealth for humanity," he said, referring to the competition linked to the Day. The children's themes were all particularly focused.
