Scrivere web: Webmania





 The Premio Grinzane Cavour and the City of Turin in collaboration with Telecom Italia, La Stampa Web and with the patronage of the European Union launched the first event of this international project "Scrivere: Webmania". The event will be broken down into three parts:

The initiative, dedicated to young people, aims to explore the relationship between young people and the languages of new technology and to promote the role of the Web as an engine of change in communication.
