"Locality and globalisation" is the main theme of the upcoming edition: "locality" is defined by daily interactions, but global dimensions are becoming increasingly important and the sense of what happens locally, everything that characterises the space of the daily experience, also finds its origin in the connection that is established at a global level. In the context in which we are living - also and above all in this period - the concept of 'cultural identity' constitutes the set of references by which a person or a group defines itself and wishes to be recognised: it implies the freedoms inherent to the dignity of the person and integrates - in a permanent process - cultural diversity, the particular and the universal, memory and the project.
