The Third Paradise and Inner Developement Goals From sustainable development goals to inner development goals: Edoardo Marcenaro, head of the legal department of Enel Grids, after speaking at the Rebirth/Third Paradise ambassadors' meeting last weekend, offers his reflections and insights on the topic. “Inner Development Goals is a non-profit open-source organisation,” he said, “for the inner development, research, collection and communication of science-based skills and qualities that can help us live a purposeful, sustainable and productive life”. As Marcenaro reported, the current framework of the Inner Development Goals indicates five categories and twenty-three skills and qualities which are especially crucial in accelerating the achievement of the SDGs. The five categories (being, thinking, relating, collaborating and acting) and the related skills and capabilities are fundamental tools to put in place a practical action plan on how to achieve the 2030 Agenda.

Third Paradise, the Rebirth ambassadors’ meeting at Cittadellarte On Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December the spaces of Fondazione Pistoletto will host a meeting that will see the participation of about a hundred Rebirth/Third Paradise ambassadors of different professional backgrounds and geographical provenance. In the course of the weekend, the participants will discuss how to concretely develop the trinamic symbol, each one in their own territory, but in a network coordinated by Cittadellarte, i.e. Michelangelo Pistoletto, Paolo Naldini (director of Cittadellarte) and Saverio Teruzzi (ambassador coordinator). “Some of them will be visiting Fondazione Pistoletto for the first time and it will be a bit like discovering a home,” said Teruzzi, “as well as an opportunity to get to know each other and explore who we are and the themes we share. It will also be a moment for considering the future, to which we can look with regenerated confidence thanks to the Third Paradise”. Let's discover the programme of the two-day event.

In Alghero, the “Laying of the foundation stone of the Third Paradise” in the Abbado-Legambiente grounds The construction of a new installation of Michelangelo Pistoletto's trinamic symbol began on Wednesday 19 October, with the symbolic laying of the first stone, in an area redeveloped by Claudio Abbado currently entrusted to Legambiente, and within the framework of the AsviS (Italian Alliance for a Sustainable Development) Festival for Sustainable Development 2022. The process of creating the Third Paradise sees the active involvement of 377 Sardinian municipalities: each town will donate a block of typical local stone (discarded or salvaged) that will bring together – both physically and symbolically – the entire regional community with the aim of protecting, preserving and enhancing its territory. “It is an honour for us and for Sardinia,” said the Abbado family, 'that the first work on the ground represents the thought of the artist. With the dream of combining art and nature, we are working on the creation of two artistic and scientific committees'. Redazione, 20/10/2022 Read more
