Ongoing project

FAR, BUT NOT DISTANT. Università Cattolica for the Middle East
 

The project was born from the idea of ​​some professors and doctors of Università Cattolica, shared by CeSI, in response to the invitation by the Rector Prof. Franco Anelli on the occasion of the Centenary of Università Cattolica:

Thinking, planning and starting to build the future will be the great commitment of the year that awaits us, which we refuse to reduce to a season of mere emergency management, in which every other idea is set aside in a passive wait for events.

Despite the emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic and in line with the interventions carried out by CeSI, the project FAR, BUT NOT DISTANT. Università Cattolica for the Middle East was born starting from the first months of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, to be close to the most vulnerable populations, despite the distance.

In collaboration with Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli, IRCCS, the project goal is promoting training courses in the educational and medical-health fields in some Middle Eastern countries with the aim of strengthening the educational and medical-health skills of school and hospital staff and health centers in the Middle East through the enhancement of local expertise and the sharing of good practices.
