“Debate Academy”: when speech meets critical sense under the light of the Third Paradise From 8 to 11 March 2022, during the four days of the Debate Academy, Rebirth/Third Paradise ambassadress Sonia Barale, together with the students of the Baruffi high school in Ceva and Ormea, created an eco-sustainable fabric drape made from recycled PET bottles. The drape represents Michelangelo Pistoletto's trinamic symbol, reinterpreted in an educational and artistic way for the children. “We tried to express the Debate Academy by linking it to Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Rebirth project," said Barale, “as young people can learn to debate in public also through demopractical practices associated to eco-sustainability, art and civic education".
