Had a message from a number of contacts today.
Dear colleagues,
in Italy, in these days, we are facing the making a so called “school reform” that may almost erase teaching of geography from Italian schools. The reason is always the same: to cut costs.
An international support may really enforce a lot our struggle in opposition of this - really absurd - kind of “reform”.
We are trying to let the public know that geographical culture is fundamental in every country, in particular in present time and in a globalized societies.
To cut geography does not mean to cut cost: it means to cut our culture and our potential to face the challenges of the world.
We will appreciate very much if you may subscribe our “petition” at this link (it really needs few seconds..):

and if you can help us to let it circulate as much as possible in your geographic society and in your country.
Thank you very much!
Cheers,
