The year ahead amid tensions and new global balances:
a conversation with Cecilia Sala



The Middle East is shaken by generational conflicts and extremism, a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine still hangs by a thread, the war between Ukraine and Russia shows no signs of stopping, and global balances are constantly shifting.

In this videoconference, participants will have the opportunity to engage with Cecilia Sala, journalist and author, one of the most incisive and recognizable voices in contemporary Italian journalism. She has the ability to convey the complexity of geopolitics through the people who experience it, offering an authentic and courageous perspective on today’s world. Drawing on her experience in major crisis zones – from Ukraine to Iran and Venezuela – and the powerful narrative of her recent book The Children of Hate, Cecilia Sala will guide participants on a journey through the new global fractures, helping them understand how conflicts arise, how they evolve, and what they reveal about our time.

In particular, participants will be able to:

  • explore the dynamics of ongoing international conflicts, with a special focus on recent tensions in Iran and the growing involvement of the United States, which are reshaping global balances
  • reflect on how global crises affect Italy and Europe, between risks and opportunities
  • analyze the role of information and the media, from disinformation to storytelling and the responsibility of those who report reality
  • draw inspiration from firsthand experience – from war reporting to detention in Iran – to understand what it means to give a voice to those who have none, and how the stories of others can, ultimately, become our own.
