PASCAL Director for Europe, Mike Osborne, and Associate Director for Europe, Roberta Piazza, were both speakers at a conference entitled, Learning City and Cultural Diversity hosted by Univerista degli Studi Roma Tre on 16 February 2017 under the patronage of the Italian Commission for UNESCO.

There were many excellent presentations during the day, not least that of Admiral Vincenzo Melone of the Italian coastguard who spoke passionately about the plight of migrants to Italy, showing very moving video footage (see image below). Many thanks to our excellent hosts, who organised the event, Paolo Di Rienzo and Liliosa Azara of Univerista degli Studi Roma Tre.
