#gne14 program (13037)
The 8th festival of Giornalisti Nell’Erba (Green journalist) or ‘GNE day’, offers 52 events to children and young people who come from all over Italy: we have organized panels, workshops, hands-on activities, open talks and much much more. This year it takes place on 30th May at the University Campus of Tor Vergata, Rome, from 9:30 am to 8:00 pm. This year’s theme is “Crews for Change”.
We will be discussing and exploring environment, science and information in a simple appealing way with simple words and through hands-on activities and quests. Every session can last from half an hour to one and half hour. Cross-events will unfold in different rooms and there will also be a special exhibition of some of the best historical pictures by reporters from ANSA (the most important journalist agency in Italy).

There will be many one-hour practical workshops about a wide variety of subjects.
The workshop by the FIMA, Federazione Italiana Media Ambientali (Italian Federation of Environmental media), will focus on successful opening of an article to lure readers and on understanding the energy we use at home in order to be able to write clearly about it: run respectively by Marco Fratoddi (Director of ‘La Nuova Ecologia’) and Sergio Ferraris (Director of ‘QualEnergia’).
The workshop by Lega NavaleItaliana (Italia Navy League) will be about historical maps; the one by David De Angelis, art director of GNE; will be about low poly graphic activities; the one by the ANSA, ANSAScience Lab, will be about tips for interviewing scientists.
There will be also a workshop about ‘green words’ (words for change by Diego Scipioni) and another about environmental surveys techniques by reporter Alfredo Macchi.
The workshop ‘Trip to Tron’s world ’ will be about computer, data, included social network ones, pendrives, and the workshop ‘Digital Storytelling’ will aim at telling stories about oneself and others, in order to help teaching and learning.
A workshop on Environmental Journalism will be held by Laura Conti and Marco Fratoddi, another one will focus on App building, and another one on ‘Green fonts’, or green graphic art, by De Angelis.

There will be two panels: the first one at 11:00 is a multiple voice-tale about food and crews for change in the world, “Storie di cibo e equipaggi”. Eric Barbizzi, our 10-year-old foreign affair manager, Alfredo Macchi, reporter for Mediaset, Vichi De Marchi, spokeperson the World Food Programme in Italy, and a group of African young people escaped from Rosarno who set up a business of organic yogurt through micro-credit will tell tales never heard before.
The second panel in the afternoon, ‘Si fa presto a dire green’ (it’s easy to say green’) is about a training course run in 2014 which has involved about 500 young people and children, 22 speakers and 6 tutors. The survey, which has yielded a huge number of articles on the ‘environmental friendliness’ (‘greenicità’) of corporations, especially of Carlsberg, Unilever and Novamont, has been unveiled at this year Festival of Journalism in Perugia.
Panels ‘Nuova informazione’ (new information) includes several events: how to spot hoaxes, also on a European level, held by Giovanni Rossi, Chairman of FNSI, and Ewelina Jelenkowska-Lucà, CEO of the EU Italian Press; performing media by Urban Experience will introduce ‘breathing clouds’ that can clean smog; ProPostivo net, created by young people, aims at telling sustainable and resilient stories on the new platform Etalia.net; TreeIT part of the nITRO group (New Information Technology Research Office) aims at active reforestation, land reclamation and decontamination.
The panel ‘Open Talk’ will offer the opportunity to join in open debates on space crews, on the Degrowth generation, by Andrea Bertaglio and SimonaFalasca; we have also invited some local politicians (hopefully they will join us) to find out more about their approach to green issues.
Games and hands-on activities will offer playful learning opportunities to find out more about organic-plastic (by Novamont), creative challenges to prevent climate change(by Creativamenteeditore), recycling games (by Ecoriflessi), reading the stars in the sky (by the Italian Navy League).
