A New Culture Education and Interregional Cooperation: From Matera2019 to Rijeka2020

In the beginning of my future research work, which will be focused on the Euro Mediterranean area with particular attention to the Adriatic Sea, I would be interested in placing the case of culture at the center of the debate concerning education and methodologies of the modern school. In a mostly legal approach, given the bases of the work undertaken that have their roots in international law and interregional cooperation, I would take as a starting point a temporal datum: the centenary of the Rijeka business. sential basis for the foundation of a new culture of cooperation - in light of the non- accidental passage of the European Capital of Culture from Matera 2019 (Italy) to the same River (today Rijeka, in Croatia) 2020, where they were thrown a hundred years ago the roots of the long Italian-Balkan question - it is precisely the development of a broad vision within our education and school education system. A vision that can cross national borders to the advantage of a modern trans-Adriatic culture, which will be the subject of the doctoral thesis to be developed from next year to the end of the cycle of studies started in 2017. Field experience and bibliographic research, between national media and the web, combined with some travel within the areas concerned, would be the starting point not only for the undersigned but also for any schools that may be interested in expanding the range of their educational offer. For example, with educational trips that may concern both Matera 2019 and Rijeka 2020. But what is intended to be investigated immediately are mostly the results and the concrete outcome of the European experience of Matera 2019. The infrastructure problems, connected to the perennial backwardness of the South; the Lucanian rural and agricultural reality, as a case study of the region among the many that Europe itself has "wagered" on for the purposes of change and future 2030 strategies; sustainable development of the local economy; overcoming the technological gap, transport, network services and everything that can guarantee system growth.
