Martedì 23 luglio, alle ore 20.30, nel Campus Cosimo Lacirignola del CIHEAM Bari, sarà messa in scena la commedia musicale Ma l’amore no, dedicata alla canzone melodica italiana, diretta da Marco Grossi e prodotta dalla Compagnia Malalingua.
Questa iniziativa culturale, organizzata dal Rotary Club Bari, è finalizzata alla raccolta fondi per il progetto FARM – Noi con la Scuola di WASA-TANZANIA.
FARM è stato creato per supportare la Scuola di WASA nel suo impegno a garantire il sostegno alimentare, l'istruzione e l’avvio al lavoro di 70 ragazzi tanzanesi. Grazie a questo service rotariano, i ragazzi potranno acquisire competenze specifiche nel settore agricolo, essenziali per la gestione di 10 ettari di terreno della scuola.
L'obiettivo principale è migliorare le pratiche agricole, per garantire continuità e varietà produttiva. Questo permetterà di assicurare il sostentamento alimentare degli studenti per tutto l’anno, oltre a offrire significativi benefici per la salute, grazie a una dieta più varia e bilanciata.
Il progetto è sostenuto da Rotary Club Bari, Chiesa di Wasa - Diocesi di Iringa, Università di Wageningen, One Acre Fund, CIHEAM Bari e Banca Patrimoni Sella & C. S.p.A.
L'evento sarà un'importante occasione per unire cultura e solidarietà, contribuendo a un futuro migliore per i giovani della Scuola di WASA.

Il Programma JPO è un’iniziativa finanziata dal Governo italiano attraverso la Direzione Generale per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo del Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale (MAECI) e curata dal Dipartimento degli Affari Economici e Sociali delle Nazioni Unite (UN/DESA). Il Programma permette a giovani qualificati di acquisire un’esperienza formativa e professionale nelle organizzazioni internazionali per un periodo di due anni, con la possibilità di un’eventuale estensione di un anno.
Lo scopo del Programma è duplice. Da una parte favorisce le attività di cooperazione delle organizzazioni internazionali associando giovani talenti ad iniziative di sviluppo, dall’altra consente a giovani professionisti interessati alle carriere internazionali di compiere esperienze rilevanti che nel futuro ne potrebbero favorire il reclutamento da parte delle organizzazioni stesse o in ambito internazionale.

The kick off meeting of the “Innovative and Sustainable Cluster for Olive Value Chain” project, co-funded by the European Union, was held in Izmir at the Turkish city's Commodity Exchange between July 8 and 9, 2024.
The OASIS project brings together 7 legal entities (beneficiaries) from 3 different countries (Türkiye, Spain, and Italy) that will be supporting 150 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the olive sector to identify and implement measures to improve the material-use efficiency of production processes, the prevention and reduction of food waste and losses, reduce the vulnerability of food production systems to external factors such as adverse weather events related to climate change, and stabilize the food supply chain by reducing production costs and promoting a more competitive and resilient market.
Coordinated by ICE (Izmir Commodity Exchange), the OASIS consortium aims to establish and promote “European agri-food sustainability cluster partnerships” to facilitate implementation of the EU Code of Conduct on Food and Marketing Practices by SMEs.
The 36-month OASIS project also aims to establish strong links between stakeholders by facilitating the exchange of information and expertise within the sector, creating a network to ensure continuous communication even after the project.
OASIS Project Partners are as follows: Izmir Agriculture Technology Center (ITTM), Unioncamere Puglia, Centro Tecnológico Nacional de la Conserva (CTNC), Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (CIHEAM Bari), Camera di Commercio e Industria Italiana per la Spagna (CCIS).
CIHEAM Bari's Tricase office has hosted a technical and political dialogue meeting organised as part of the Go Blue project and attended by a Kenyan delegation from Kenya's 6 coastal regions.
The meeting was intended to be both a time to share the activities carried out under the project and to present and discuss possible future initiatives that can significantly contribute to the development of Kenya and the strengthening of collaboration between the two countries in the field of Blue Economy.
The Go Blue project, financed through funds from the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) is implemented by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation - AICS in partnership with the Kenyan government and relies on the collaboration of AICS and CIHEAM Bari to promote inclusive, sustainable and widespread economic growth and strengthen blue economy supply chains in the coastal areas of the country.
The project involves several European and international partners, including GIZ, UN-Habitat, Expertise France and Portuguese Cooperation, working on various aspects of the Blue Economy.
Project activities are directed at strengthening the value chain of the blue economy by improving co-management of fisheries resources and enhancing fisheries value chains for shared prosperity, inclusive economic growth and job creation. In addition, the project aims to improve the operations of farmer groups within the cassava value chain and support the JKP Secretariat in developing economic actions and strategies for coastal regions.
The 5th edition of the 10-week Advanced Specialisation Course on Sustainable Development of Coastal Communities closed on Saturday, July 13, with the awarding of certificates.

Through a combination of theoretical lectures, hand-on practice and technical visits, it offered insights and perspectives to address the challenges related to the integrated management of the same areas in the coastal context, inspired by the model of the Tricase Port Museum and its community.
The Sustainable Development of Coastal Communities (SDCC) course is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and organised by CIHEAM Bari with the technical support from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM).
