“Two and a half years. One half of the already traveled path. A sequence of facts
who, today, are welded as a single story: that of a project that dared to dream, and managed to get
reality.
With the signature of the agreement “Corecom Academy on tour“And with the extraordinary award ceremony of the
“Lucia Abusa Prize“, We arrive at the end of a virtuous, consistent cycle, marked by stages that are not
simple events, but milestones in the cultural, educational and civil track of Corecom Calabria. Two years e
intense, without pauses, where each initiative has been designed to have a real, measurable impact,
human.
“We are halfway through the mandateyet the power – powerful, profound – is that something has already done
unrepeatable. Why, In these 30 months, we have planted roots: in school, in the university, in the territories,
In the narrative of a different, proactive, constructive Calabria “commented the president Fulvio Scarpino.
The “Lucia Abuso Prize” was not just a school competition. Was a generational pact
designed to give voice to the boys in the language they best know: that of the image, of the
creativity, of the positive complaint. We did it in the memory of a teacher, Lucia Abuso, a symbol of
rigor and sweetness, of education and affection, values that we have tried to embody and transmit through
Every our public act.
With the “Corecom Academy on tour“We closed the circle. After talking about cyberbullying, affectivity

who was by my side with the constancy and loyalty of an older brother, my gratitude goes more
affectionate. TO Pasquale Petrololofor the rigor and meaning of the institutions that he has been able to keep alive in every

competence with which each initiative was translated into practice, despite the difficulties of the system.
I also thank the national coordination of the Corecoms and its coordinator, Carola Barbatofor the
continuous support and attention.
Now, what comes after will inevitably be more difficult. Because it will be judged to light what we have
already done. And replicate the emotion and strength of this path will not be simple. But the fruits are sure,
they will continue to mature. In the faces of the students, in the educational contents that we have left, in the
civic awareness that we have helped to awaken.
Calabria today is not only a news, but vision. Not only a problem, but proposed. Not only awaited, but
action. And it is to this image – new, fresh, determined – that we wanted to contribute. And if
Something has been accomplished, then something, perhaps everything, can also happen ”.
