Europe & Italy: What holds us together, Europe’s values yesterday, today and tomorrow

DATE: 8 May 2026
PLACE
: Palazzo Bonaventura (Urbino, Via Saffi, 2)
TIME: from 10:30 am to 1.00 pm

ABSTRACT
Every year, ESN Urbino organises a conference to mark Europe Day: a regular event for our small but vibrant community, an opportunity for growth that brings together the University of Urbino and the city, students and citizens.

The conference focuses on the common values and principles that led to the founding of the European Union, how these values have evolved and unite us today, and how they might evolve in a future marked by instability. This year’s theme will be the importance of the values that led to the founding of the European Union and their future implications.
The conference will be conducted entirely in English, in order to include the international students living in our city.

ESN Urbino (an acronym for Erasmus Student Network) is a non-partisan and apolitical student association which, since its inception in October 2017, has been part of a national and international network of volunteers who support Erasmus students during their mobility periods and which, at a local level, works closely with the International Mobility Office of the University of Urbino.

PROGRAM
