What if a work of art could continue to live even far from the place where it was created?

This is one of the most compelling ideas behind The World Gate: a project in which art does more than represent cultures. It travels, engages with new contexts, and fosters collaborations between communities, artists, and institutions from different countries. The third panel, dedicated to Europe and created by Angelo Aligia and Julieta Castellan, adds a new chapter to this international dialogue

🎓 This is where The World Gate connects with the journey of Summer Peace University: in the ability to turn knowledge into meaningful relationships. During SPU 2026, thirty students from different countries had the opportunity to see how international cooperation can translate into tangible experiences, connecting a region’s cultural heritage with a global perspective

📍 From Belvedere Marittimo, a wall becomes a gateway to a network of exchanges spanning continents and communities. Not a finished work, but an ongoing process that continues to build connections

Una bella intervista al professor Nicola Leone, già rettore dell’Università della Calabria, che ripercorre l’esperienza vissuta alla SPU 2026 in occasione della lectio “Artificial Intelligence and Human Responsibility”

🌍 Un confronto internazionale e interdisciplinare che ha coinvolto studenti provenienti da tre continenti, mettendo al centro il ruolo del dialogo, del pensiero critico e della responsabilità umana nell’affrontare le sfide del nostro tempo

💡 Come sottolinea il professor Leone, la tecnologia non determina da sola il nostro futuro: sono le scelte che compiamo a fare la differenza. Una riflessione che esprime pienamente la visione della Summer Peace University, dove la conoscenza diventa occasione di confronto e strumento per costruire una cultura della pace

Learning continues beyond the classroom. 🌍

Through food, music, nature, and moments of fun, our cultural program gives students opportunities to share traditions, exchange knowledge, and enjoy new experiences together.

They return home with lasting memories, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.

We can’t build peace if we don’t pause. 🌿

At Arco Magno, we took time to meditate, listen to our surroundings, and be present together.

A moment within our program to slow down and connect with ourselves, with nature, and with one another.
