Manifesto

Major global changes and the innovative energy of the new generations impose a profound and conscious renewal on university teaching models. Integration with the working world, which today is expressed in multiform and original activities, requires attention and foresight.
The Alumni and Friends of the University of Parma association stands between the two systems as a cultural and operational volunteer representing the two realities. Its inclusive and aggregative strength expresses potential to promote and support, through diversified ways of communication and action, the current energies of thinking and doing.
Social solidarity, the association's added value, pays attention to the growing distance between wealth and culture, the expression of two poverties: material and cultural.
It believes it is necessary to change the established model, involving young, intellectually active personalities with new offers, also in areas geographically distant from the poles of culture and innovation.
Therefore, an additional creative force of the University of Parma is born from the association.
