The students of the schools involved will have the opportunity to participate by sending the contents created by April 26th.
«We cannot think about the future without the involvement of young people, of tomorrow’s citizens. It is important to collect their requests and their expectations, hence the importance of this contest that we wanted to propose to schools, true hotbeds of young talent to substantiate our concrete interest in young people and the environment. For this commitment I thank the entire council and the city councilors who support me”, commented the Mayor, Tommaso Minervini.
The best works, one for each institute, will be rewarded during a major final event which will be held in the summer and will offer a rich prize for the individual student or for the groups who have created the best product.
«We must take the suggestions of our young people and all work together to caress our city – underlines the councilor for the environment Caterina Roselli – This administration cares a lot about the issue of the environment and we are eager to welcome the precious suggestions of the young people. Students will be able to use social media in a fun way, it’s a detail we care about a lot. Thanks to the “Environment and future” contest, each of them will be able to contribute to protecting the environment, they will be able to make a real contribution to their city and create something useful with the help of the municipal administration. The experience of city councilor Vito Paparella, who in the past was president of the ASM, was invaluable in organizing the event. The effects of the initiative will be shared and participated with the ASM and environmental associations.”
The initiative is carried out by the Municipality of Molfetta, environmental department, with the collaboration of sector experts.
«Thanks to the interesting topics of discussion that will certainly be raised by the many young people involved, there is a real possibility that – declared Giuseppe Ragno, one of the creators of the initiative together with Claudia Vernice – the contest could be followed by a communication campaign for the municipality of Molfetta made with the collected material”.
