In Memory of Giulia Cecchettin
Born and raised in Vigonovo, in the province of Venice, Giulia Cecchettin was attending the Biomedical Engineering course at the University of Padua. On the evening of November 11, 2023, Giulia was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. She was supposed to graduate on November 16.
Giulia's death has sparked a wave of deep emotion across Italy, catalyzing the country's outrage at the intolerable tragedy of femicides and triggering a broad collective reflection on the issue of gender-based violence. Her figure has spontaneously become the symbol of the Day against Violence against Women, celebrated with numerous initiatives and events throughout Italy on November 25, 2023, just a few days after her brutal murder.
Following the tragic events in Vigonovo, the Vice Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon. Antonio Tajani, expressed the intention to dedicate a series of government scholarships to the memory of the young woman, intended for young international students "who come to study in Italy and dream what Giulia dreamed".
It was therefore decided to dedicate the "Invest Your Talent in Italy" program to the memory of Giulia Cecchettin.
To ensure that this gesture is not merely symbolic, starting from the academic year 2023-2024, the inclusion in the academic path of IYT scholarship holders of a seminar or training module dedicated to promoting gender equality and combating violence against women is planned.
ALUMNI FARNESINA
Alumni Farnesina is the network created in 2023 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with Uni-Italia, to bring together all international students who have benefited from a scholarship offered by the Italian Government during their academic career.
It is a multilateral and multidisciplinary space that promotes dialogue and encourages exchange between old classmates and new friends.
The goal is to contribute to the enrichment of cultural, social, and economic relations between Italy and the communities to which the Alumni belong, to keep alive the bond between Italy and the international talents it has chosen to invest in.
Through the platform, Alumni will have the opportunity to network with other former MAECI scholarship recipients, both nationals and from other countries, and stay updated on activities and events organized by the network of Embassies, Consulates, and Italian Cultural Institutes worldwide.
It is possible to join the platform once the period of study as MAECI scholars is completed by clicking HERE.
The Alumni Farnesina app is also available for iOS and Android systems.
