Rocco Burdino

I am Rocco Burdino, President and Legal Representative of Arte Diem Calabria.

My journey through European projects has given me the opportunity to meet people, cultures, and different realities, helping me understand how dialogue and collaboration can create real opportunities for growth.

These experiences inspired my commitment to Arte Diem: creating opportunities especially for young people, people with fewer opportunities, and those who risk being left behind.

I believe in inclusion, participation, and the development of people's skills. Through Arte Diem, we work to build bridges, break down barriers, and turn learning and international experiences into new opportunities for everyone.
 

Marco Giglio

Hi, I’m Marco! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages and Cultures and am currently completing my Master's degree in Languages for International Communication. Languages, intercultural communication, and international experiences not only define my studies but are integral to my identity. 

Over the years, I’ve participated in several Erasmus+ projects, ranging from Youth Exchanges to Training Courses. My Erasmus journey has taken me to diverse locations like the Canary Islands and Armenia, where I engaged in Training Courses on leadership, personal development, and learning. I've also been involved in projects focusing on inclusion and the LGBTQ+ community, participating in Youth Exchanges in Spain, the Netherlands, and Bulgaria. 
Additionally, I've had the chance to engage in Erasmus+ projects in my home region, exploring themes related to art and creativity. These experiences have demonstrated that international learning and cultural exchange can occur anywhere,even nearby.

Luisa Burdino

I am Luisa Burdino, and I have a degree in Languages. My journey has taught me that communication is above all about getting to know, listening to, and understanding others, while seeing differences as a source of richness.

I strongly believe in people, in their abilities, and in the contribution that each person can make to their community. This is why I chose to be involved in Arte Diem Calabria, sharing its values of inclusion, participation, and solidarity.

I believe in a community where no one is left behind and where everyone can feel listened to, valued, and part of something.

Believing in people means valuing every person.

Emanuel Caristi

I believe in European values, and I have chosen to make them an important part of my life.

As Vice President of Arte Diem Calabria, facilitator, and trainer in numerous European projects, I work every day to promote participation, inclusion, dialogue, and cooperation.

For me, Europe is not just an institution: it is a community of people, ideas, and opportunities. Contributing to building this community, especially together with younger generations, is a responsibility that I carry forward with passion.

Giuseppe Greco

I am Giuseppe Greco, and I study Law at Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro, where I am preparing to pursue a career as a lawyer.

But my personal growth does not come only from studying. For years, I have dedicated time and energy to my community through participation, event organization, and the promotion of our local area.

I am a member of Arte Diem Calabria and, together with a group of friends, I work locally to create opportunities for people to meet and to make evenings in Girifalco more lively, enjoyable, and engaging.

One of the experiences that best represents me is the San Marco Summer League, an event that involves more and more people every year and has become a much-awaited part of the summer in Girifalco.

I believe in ideas, friendship, and the strength of a community that knows how to come together.
