World Poetry Academy

The World Poetry Academy was born on 23 June 2001 in Verona.

It is in fact in the city that saw the birth of the Latin poet Catullo, who welcomed Dante and allowed him to complete his “Divine Comedy”, which inspired Shakespeare and who welcomed Goethe, Dickens, Lord Byron and many other writers and artists from Europe and the world, who held the constituent meeting of the World Academy of Poetry, with the support of the City of Verona and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

UNESCO, the Veneto Region, the Province of Verona, the University of Verona and other private sponsors have witnessed their interest and support.

Bodies and Places Competition

Post Byegrisi 31 December 2019

THREE SECTIONS: Poetry and Image, Polaroid and Video Poetry

THEME DESCRIPTION
Bodies and places are a form of resistance to the global world.
Going around, looking and writing about the places we see is a nice exercise against rampant spiritual misery. Our perceptive faculties must be kept alive.
It takes attention to detail rather than opinion abstractions.
This exercise makes us less apathetic, more resistant to the dizzying evanescence of the world dominated by current affairs.

international conference for the presentation of the “Abdulaziz Saud Al-Babtain Chair for Peace”

 The globalization process entails as many opportunities as risks and   challenges, particularly demanding on young generations.

In this context, Universities as well as Governmental institutions, NGOs and civil society worldwide need to intensify exchanges, dialogues, relations and develop efforts for a culture of peace as a key-factor for reaching not only a greater and better understanding between peoples, but also more realistic prospects in terms of educational goals for the formation of new generations of leaders, in face of the challenges that a shared world of peace carries with it.
