Lunedì 23 novembre alle 21.00, nell'Aula 1 del Polo Carmignani, va in scena l'esito finale del Laboratorio Universitario di Espressione Teatrale 2015: "In un cerchio di legno", liberamente ispirato ad una selezione di scene tratte da Wiliam Shakespeare.

Con:  Alice Bugiada, Andrea Carpinelli, Marianna Carpinelli, Federico Landucci, Cristina Luzzi, Filomena Petrella, Daniela Vincenti, Lucrezia Visdomini
Coordinamento: Letizia Giuliani e Giulia Solano

Il Laboratorio Universitario di Espressione Teatrale – nel 2015 alla seconda edizione – si è dedicato quest’anno al lavoro su tre commedie di Wiliam Shakespeare: Sogno d'una notte di mezza estate, La Bisbetica Domata e Il Mercante di Venezia.
Durante il percorso laboratoriale sono stati scelti e approfonditi, in particolare, due aspetti dei testi shakespeariani:
1) i protagonisti principali, dei quali è stata fatta un'analisi drammaturgica che ha prodotto sia la scrittura di loro brevi presentazioni, sia la rielaborazione originale di alcune scene;
2) il ruolo e la funzione del "prologo", che ha portato alla creazione di scene corali, sia dal punto di vista fisico/spaziale, sia dal punto di vista vocale/musicale.

"Ma scusateci: come uno sgorbio di cifre
serve in breve spazio a rappresentare un milione,
così lasciate che noi semplici zeri in questo gran conto
mettiamo in moto le forze della vostra immaginazione. "
dal Prologo dell'Enrico V

AEGEE, acronimo di Association des Etats Généraux des Étudiants de l'Europe e meglio conosciuta come European Students' Forum, è la più grande associazione studentesca interdisciplinare in Europa volta a promuovere la creazione di una forte identità europea. È un'organizzazione non governativa riconosciuta dall'Unione Europea con il ruolo di osservatore permanente presso il Consiglio d'Europa. Ed è proprio grazie alle forti pressioni di AEGEE che nel 1987 la Commissione Europea lancia il programma ERASMUS. AEGEE è un'organizzazione laica, apartitica e senza scopi di lucro, aperta a studenti e giovani lavoratori di qualsiasi facoltà e disciplina. Nata a Parigi nel 1985, rappresenta ad oggi un network di circa 15.000 membri (di età compresa tra i 18 e 35 anni) in più di 200 città universitarie in 40 Paesi in tutta Europa. AEGEE si impegna per un'Europa democratica, multiculturale e senza confini, che sia socialmente, economicamente e politicamente integrata, e che dia valore alla partecipazione dei giovani nella sua costruzione e sviluppo.

Voyage en barbarie

di Cécile Allegra e Delphine Deloget | Francia, 2014

Il Sinai è diventato teatro di una vera tratta degli schiavi: a partire dal 2009 50mila eritrei sono passati da qui, e 10mila non ne sono mai tornati.
Giovani, di buona famiglia, cristiani, in fuga da una dittatura, vengono rapiti durante la marcia verso il Sudan e torturati da beduini che non hanno che un obiettivo: ottenere un riscatto dalle famiglie, come conferma l’intervista senza precedenti a uno di loro. Tre sopravvissuti ci consegnano la loro testimonianza: Germay, rifugiato al Cairo, e Robel e Haleform, che hanno ottenuto asilo in Svezia. Le loro voci sono le prime a svelare una vicenda avvolta dal silenzio, l’ennesimo dramma sulle rotte della migrazione.

Abstract

The European Union allocated a large budget to its funding program Horizon 2020 with the clear goal to unleash its SMEs’ full innovation potential. This budget is reserved to the best innovation proposals submitted by SMEs, and for being a member of that club a proposal has to have few and fundamental ingredients. The business has to be presented to appeal to the funding source, address its criteria and administrative procedures, and inform evaluators of the merits of the proposed business.
The EU funding has elements of venture funding in its intentions to allocate capital to breakthrough innovations, which tend to be risky and potentially have far reaching impact on the EU economy.
This session will give you a panoramic view of the objectives expected by the EU from your proposal and the tools which can bring you to clearly state them. The session will end with a direct structure for how to ask for money, using conventional components from venture financing.

Abstract

The Internet of Things has the potential to disrupt different industry fields. Through the internet, connected things are able to exchange raw data and information thus enabling the development of a new class of interconnected smart objects. While the Internet of Things paradigm is breaking the barriers of the embedded devices and connection protocols applications, their development is still narrowed to a small niche of electronics programmers. The tutorial describes the potentialities of high-level programming and development of Internet of Things solutions and Smart Devices in Python through an open-source software suite. The presentation includes the description of the technical characteristics of the software, as well as an interactive hands-on.
