Hi everyone! I'm Lorenza, a master degree student, who would like to add more positive news on this very special day. Do you know that Norway is the first country in the world to ban deforestation? Norway gave $1 billion to Brazil to protect the Amazon back in 2008. This helped cut Amazon deforestation by 75% in 7 years. A few years later, in 2016, Norway became the first country in the world to b...

Hello everyone, my name is Cecilia. Today the world is celebrating Earth Day, a 54-year annual event and the largest environmental movement on our planet. Before sharing some GOOD news in favour of our ecosystem, I must thank the Thinking Watermill Society for inviting the Parioli English School to the podcast.

Today, the 25th of March, is Dantedì, the day dedicated to the great poet. Today it is more than three years since the world has been hit by the covid crisis, and even new pandemics are feared. Today it’s more than one year that Ukraine has been invaded and the world is under the threat of a global war, possibly a nuclear one. Humanity goes through a hell of darkness and fear, nobody is safe. So w...

At The Thinking Watermill Society we strongly believe that to have a sustainable future, better – to have a future – it is necessary to fight climate change caused by mankind, protect biodiversity and have women even more protagonists. For this reason we embraced the project of ZeroCO2 in Tanzania, that gives support to Masai women through reforestation processes, that deliver aid to the intereste...

Today 22nd April is the Earth Day. While not far away from us bombs fall indiscriminately destroying any form of life and the nations aren’t able to reach agreements that can save us from the climate catastrophe, but rather hurry to get armed even more and with even more deadly and devastating weapons, we plant 8 olive trees. We would like to plant a lot more, but ours is a symbolic act. Olive tre...

Oggi è il Dantedi La giornata dedicata al poeta che ha gettato le basi della lingua Italiana. A noi piace pensarlo come rappresentante della cultura, italiana e non, come uomo che pure amante della sua città ha saputo, attraverso il suo intelletto, farsi conoscere e andare ben oltre i confini geografici, non solo della sua città natale e di quella che poi sarebbe stata l'Italia, ma ben oltre il mo...

Today, 8th of March, Woman’s Day, we plant 7 olive trees as symbols of peace. Our thoughts go to the women fighters and to the women victims, to the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of those fighting and victims in Ukraine and in any part of the world. We think about the women, but also about the men, because distinctions are faded by grief, which joins everyone under the same name: humanity....

Oggi, 8 marzo, giornata della donna, piantiamo 7 alberi di ulivo in segno di pace. Il nostro pensiero va alle donne combattenti e alle donne vittime, alle donne madri, mogli, sorelle e figlie di coloro che combattono e sono vittime in Ucraina e in ogni parte del mondo. Pensiamo alle donne, ma anche agli uomini, perché il dolore scolora le distinzioni e accomuna tutti in un solo nome: quello di uma...

Carmen, which love? In the Carmen by Bizet, one of the most beautiful arias is Habanera, the one depicting love as a rebel bird. Here are some of the quotes that mostly touch our feelings: Love is a rebellious bird, which no one will ever be able to tame and it is really useless to call him, if he prefers to shirk. Love is a small gypsy, it never observed a rule. If you do not love me, I love you....

I would like to say thank you so much to The Thinking Watermill Society for inviting me to the podcast. A few months back, My Voice Podcast and The thinking Watermill Society through the “What Do You Know About FGM” podcast series hosted 4 guests from 4 institutions that create awareness about the eradication of FGM in Uganda, Kenya and Europe. These amazing guests were Maria Angela Maina of Socia...

Today, Memorial Day 2022, we remember how cruel human beings can be. And at the same time we remember how compassionate human beings can be. On one side we look out into the Night of cruelty, and then we cling to the light of the compassion of some individuals that we cannot and we must not forget. Among them, Mrs. Liana Millu stands out. This is how she introduced herself “I am number A 5384 of A...

At The Thinking Watermill Society we believe in gender equality and every day we act for it to be affirmed and realized.

At The Thinking Watermill Society, we do researches, we organize round tables and conferences, we publish books and reports. Our activities, as all human activities, contribute to global pollution due to the consumption of energy and production of CO2, even if the protection of the environment is one of our priorities. For this reason, we thought about creating a wood of trees through “ZeroCO2”, a...

These are a few habits I tend to follow: a)For c...

While I was there, I saw a mother teaching her child on the importance of f...
