An exciting fall season of La Pietra Dialogues commences today at NYU Florence. Today’s conversation is entitled, The EU in Focus: What is the EU? Why does it Matter?. This is part of broader initiative at NYU Florence, The EU on the Ground. Through this initiative a select group of students will develop a deeper understanding of how EU policy making works through the study of two policy areas – immigration and environment – and will further their knowledge through a trip to Brussels to visit the institutions of the European Union. The series of dialogues affiliated with The EU on the Ground is coordinated by NYU Florence student, Claudia Cereceda.
