Mola di Bari Friday, August 11, 2023 – Emotion, Sharing, Dialogue. These words summarize the meeting between CYF, the young people of the White Night of Youth in Mola di Bari, and the Ala di Riserva Association.
The well-known RAI journalist Giacomo Susca hosted the event titled “National Young Person of the Year Award,” guiding us through the presentation of the Creasys Youth Foundation, inaugurated with the viewing of the CYF project video “Generazione Creativa,” which sparked a series of questions from the audience and young people eager to learn about our multifaceted reality.
In the presence of Mayor Giuseppe Colonna and Deputy Mayor Angelo Rotolo of the Municipality of Mola di Bari, we witnessed a fruitful debate focusing on the Apulian territory and the opportunities it offers to young people who decide to stay in the South, among prominent representatives of the involved local entities.
Among them were the Director of the Economic Development Department of the Puglia Region Gianna Elisa Berlingerio, the Councilor for Kindness and Growth of the Municipality of Pesaro Camilla Murgia, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Castel Bolognese Luca della Godenza.
We participated in this evening with emotion, during which the National Young Person of the Year Award was given to the young people of Emilia-Romagna for their courage, willpower, and for creating a true chain of solidarity in a tragic and painful scenario that affected their region not long ago. The award was received by Tommaso Cappelli, a young volunteer who presented a reality in which young people know how to make a difference. Young people are the creators and will be the future mentors of a positive change in today’s society.
Together, we can aim high, and only together can we bring life to life, we can Rise from the Impossible, echoing the theme of the White Night of Youth 2023.
And this is precisely the spirit of the Creasys Youth Foundation: creating a network to support young people and accompany them on a path of personal and professional growth, to face life’s challenges with the right grit and energy, to continue cultivating values, gaining experience, and becoming witnesses in personal and professional life.
