Sant'Anna Institute

Excited to organize at Sant'Anna - a few days away from the 2024 #EarthDay - the 1st Student Conference in Environmental Sciences! Our #MarineBiology, #Sustainability and #Volcanology students met to exchange ideas and present their researches focusing on the #sea as their macro-area in an #interdisciplinary and sustainable perspective. The explored topics included: #Volcanism in Spreading Centers and Underwater Volcanoes; the Underwater Meadows of the #Mediterranean; Sustainability at Sea: a balance to be protected. Special thanks to Fabio Russo - marine biologist and marine photographer who served as our appreciated keynote speaker - and to our faculty and students for their commitment and passion in preserving our #environment for the next generations! #studyabroaditaly #santannainstitute #studentconference #green

Honored to welcome the writer, actor and director Angelo Cannavacciuolo who presented his #novel "When Things Happen" to our students and faculty (Dr. Lee Foust and Dr. Luca Sarti) from the courses of #CreativeWriting, #WorldLiterature and "The Neapolitan Woman in film and literature from Emma Hamilton to Elena Ferrante". Angelo intensely interacted with our students - and with Dr. Gregory Pell, on-line from Hofstra University, who skillfully translated the novel into English - on topics such as the Neapolitan #culture, the #resilience we need to accept the events that daily happen in our lives, the contradictions that we constantly face as well as the skills required to carry out the profession of a #writer. Thank you, Angelo and Greg, for sharing with us your magic world of words and dreams and for emotionally inspiring our students! #santannainstitute #studyabroaditaly #Naples #literature #fiction

Business Studies between Interculturality and Sustainability - On April 9th, our students and faculty from the #Business and #Marketing courses converged at the stunning Villa Doria D'Angri in Naples to join a special hackathon focusing on sustainable innovation across the realms of #fashion, #music, #sports, and gaming. Organized in collaboration with the Università degli Studi di Napoli 'Parthenope' and SPICI srl, this hackathon was a thrilling showcase of how creativity meets sustainability. Our 40 students, divided into dynamic intercultural teams (#US and Italian students paired up together), embarked on a quest to redefine the boundaries of their assigned field whilst being driven by sustainable ideas. From eco-conscious fashion lines to sustainable beats in music, green strategies in sports, and eco-friendly gaming concepts, the ideas presented were incredibly revolutionary. The beautiful backdrop of Villa Doria D'Angri provided the perfect inspiration for our students, proving how sustainability and beauty can go hand in hand. After an intense competition and incredible displays of ingenuity and intercultural skills, it was the "Music 1" team that stole the show, captivating the esteemed panel of judges with their innovative approach to sustainable music. Congratulations to the winners! From the US: , Kathryn Gray (Boise State University through CIS Abroad - Center for International Studies), Ellie Gould (University of North Carolina Wilmington), Nicole Leemaster (University of Michigan), Morgan Munson (Susquehanna University), Sofia Wynn (University of Michigan). This event wasn't just a competition; it was a statement - that the next generation is ready to tackle global challenges with sustainable solutions. Special thanks to the Parthenope for welcoming us and to all the organizers, participants, and supporters who made this day a success! #Sustainableinnovation #Hackathon2024 #Villadoriadangri #Santannainstitute #Parthenope #Spici #Sustainability #Futureleaders #StudyAbroad

Think globally, act locally! Inspiring visit to #Naples for our #Sustainability students, led by Prof. Dario Catania, focusing on #CircolarEconomy and #GreenEnergy: from the urban "Viviani" orchard, managed by local associations, with the support of citizens in the neighborhood, to Giancarlo Minniti's factory, a #recycling artist who recovers and transforms materials which, otherwise, would increase the waste produced every day in the Neapolitan area. #sustainableliving #environment #zerowaste #recycle #savetheplanet #plasticfree #organic
