Environmental changes and their implications are at the core of the global debate. NABA's Communication and Graphic Design Area tackles the topic by analysing the link between communication and sustainability. On June 22, from 6:30 PM, the "Green Lies: fake news e comunicazione sostenibile" talk will involve Barbascura X (Scientific Communicator, writer, YouTuber, comedian and TV host). The free event will take place at the Rome campus (via Ostiense 92), Room 0.01. Exclusive live streaming will be available for students of the Milan campus.

From lectures to the Master: NABA and environmental sustainability

By opening "Green Lies: fake news e comunicazione sostenibile", Patrizia Moschella (Communication and Graphic Design Area Leader) will introduce the main topics of the new Academic Master in Sustainable Innovation Communication. The programme will enrich the didactic offer of NABA’s Milan and Rome* campus from A.Y. 2022/23. This intensive course develops theories, methods, and approaches to contemporary communication. Students will acquire cross-discipline skills for the analysis and cultural encoding of languages that relate to the sustainable innovation of institutions as well as of public and private companies.

Then Barbascura X will take the floor. The Academy students themselves will raise some challenging issues concerning fake news in the field of sustainable communication. Barbascura X has already tackled the same topic as part of the "INFODEMIC - Il virus siamo noi" documentary. The project faces the problem of distinguishing between true and false information during the pandemic emergency.

The talk ends the "Ritornare alla comunità. Sostenibilità: se ne parla fin troppo, si comunica poco” series of conferences curated by Patrizia Moschella herself. Here, activists, scientists, philosophers, engineers and communication professionals have discussed the relevance of the communicators. In particular, they focus on communicators' last task: to decode languages and translate them into community culture during eco-systemic change.

*Teaching delivery campus subject to authorisation by MUR for A.Y. 2022/23.
