Communication is a fundamental tool for raising awareness of the importance and impact of development cooperation initiatives and programs. Italian Cooperation promotes knowledge of its goals and activities through events, social media, and collaboration with journalistic organizations.<\/p>\n
In particular, Italian Cooperation organizes and coordinates information and communication campaigns that encourage active citizenship<\/strong> and generate public awareness\u2014especially among young people and families\u2014on major global issues, international development cooperation, and Italy\u2019s commitment to helping address key international challenges.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In close coordination with Secretariat General (Unit\u00e0 per la comunicazione), DGCS promotes activities and events aimed at increasing awareness of the commitment of Italian Development Cooperation, with particular attention to younger audiences, students, and families. Within this framework, DGCS organizes numerous events, diverse in format and target groups. Here below some examples:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A) COOPERA \u2013 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION<\/strong><\/p>\n The national public conference, provided for by Article 16, paragraph 3 of Law 125\/2014, is convened by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation to encourage citizen participation in shaping development cooperation policies.
