“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".

The Third Paradise on the border between Turkey and Syria, when a symbol pacifies opposites Nicolò Marchetti, full professor in the Department of History and Cultures of the University of Bologna, has curated an installation of the Third Paradise in Karkemish, on the western bank of the river Euphrates. The 30-metre long work, whose construction was requested by Fatma Şahin (metropolitan mayor of Gaziantep), was designed by the archaeologist with the collaboration of Michelangelo Pistoletto. “Karkemish is an extraordinary place – said the artist from Biella – and the right one to host the Third Paradise, a symbol that pacifies opposites, heals differences, promotes new models of participation in life by resolving conflicts, activating responsible practices that pacify us and give us the right to belong to our planet guaranteeing equal dignity to all the species that inhabit it”.
