VERBANIA MUNICIPALITY – “Education City”

Over these past few years, the Municipality of Verbania has been very active as an educational city - engaging in the promotion of peace and responsible citizenship, instituting the Municipal Youth Council as a laboratory for democratic participation in city life and the promotion of peace education in all of its aspects.
The Municipality of Verbania supports in various ways (from hosting concerts to holding artistic events), the meeting with other cultures, listening to youth and stimulating the growth of their active and conscious participation through peer education, participating in and promoting peace forums – thus, the city nurtures the hope of contributing towards the building of a world of solidarity and justice, able to foresee the future by seeing itself in others.
