Have you ever wondered why female-led businesses are often claimed to offer employees a very different working experience?

Do you think women are as ambitious as men but have obstacles in their careers? Would you know how to overcome them?

Join our conversation with Barbara Cominelli, CEO of JLL Italia, who will offer her personal success-experience and insights on the very debated topic of “Female Ambition”, debunking myths and sharing practical hints on what certainly is a matter worth exploring.

About the project

“The Renaissance Series – Sustainable Human Development” is a powerful series of webinars focusing on the individual and the new set of challenges we are all faced with as we operate in the new professional environment that has recently undergone significant twists and shifts. Covid, Brexit and a series of globally relevant social issues have contributed to changing the way we work, the way we communicate, the way we make decisions, in ways that no one had anticipated and without warning or time to prepare.

Dealing with what some called the “new normal” is not just a matter of how good we are at using new technological tools, but it encompasses a wide spectrum of little things which, combined, have the power of making our lives better or worse and impact on our ability to reach personal and professional goals.

With the Renaissance series, the Chamber aims at giving its members fresh, applicable and effective means of rising to the challenge and maximize one’s potential by selecting and engaging experts from each field who are uniquely equipped to provide the participants with food for thought and opportunities of individual human growth.

Lo scorso gennaio è stata presentata – in concomitanza con il World Economic Forum di Davos – la ventiduesima edizione dell’Edelman Trust Barometer.

La ricerca, che ha coinvolto 36.000 consumatori in 28 Paesi ha evidenziato un ‘ciclo di sfiducia’, alimentato da Governi e Media, che minaccia la stabilità sociale. Al contrario, invece, l’istituzione Business è vista come una forza stabilizzatrice, in grado di affrontare le questioni sociali più critiche.Ancora una volta i dati mettono in luce le aspettative, che vanno ben oltre il profitto, riposte nelle aziende e nei propri leader e, di conseguenza, le crescenti responsabilità di cui sono investiti.

Ne discuteranno Fiorella Passoni, CEO Edelman Italia, e Steven Sprague, Presidente di The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy

We live in a world where data has become the basis for the activity of most areas of economic and social life. In addition to human generated data, the broad dissemination of new digital technologies is driving exponential growth of machine generated data.

Making innovative uses of this data will provide enormous development opportunities in society and will become the main source of increased productivity in business.

This talk will take you through a journey, describing how data is driving the fascinating evolution of industry and finance towards a smart, decentralised approach and how digital twins and the metaverse will blurry the line between real and virtual worlds in business and society.

Guy Masterson ‘s one-man-show written by Dylan Thomas celebrates a day in the life of a Welsh hamlet, Llaraggyub.

** Performed in English **

In this one-man-show, renowned British actor, Guy Masterson brilliantly recreates 69 characters of Dylan Thomas’s fictitious fishing village Llareggub – Bugger All, spelt backwards! He brings these funny, bawdy, sensual and sometimes sad characters to life using nothing but a wooden chair, dark glasses, creative lighting and a beautifully haunting soundscape by Matt Clifford.
Dylan’s incredible literary and poetic work was first made famous by the legendary celebrity film-star Richard Burton with his unforgettable BBC Radio recording in 1954. Guy Masterson (Burton’s nephew) has created a highly unique and memorable visual performance for the stage. Under Milk Wood has been performed over 2000 times around the world.

A show not to be missed for lovers of the English language.
105 minutes

Reviews:

“It’s a feat of multiple characterisation, impeccable timing, vocal dexterity and precise physical control, performed with tremendous sensitivity and panache!” (The Guardian)

“Absolutely wonderful, intensely therapeutic, intensely uplifting! Guy Masterson is something exceptional!” (BBC Radio Scotland)

Under the direction of Maestro Vincenzo Simmarano, the Milan-based choir, Canti Corum, will perform the renowned, British choral piece for choir and orchestra, by the famous, contemporary Welsh composer, Sir Karl Jenkins, called “The Armed Man – A Mass for Peace“, in concert on Tuesday 14th June 2022 in the Basilica di Santo Stefano, in Milan at 8:45 PM.

The concert, which had originally been planned for June 2020 and was postponed twice due to the pandemic, will now mark the 22nd Anniversary of the work which was commissioned by the Royal Armouries in 2000 and dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo crisis.

The concert will be a charity event in aid of the peace and humanitarian works of the Comunita’ di Sant’Egidio, specifically the “Progetti per la Pace” project.

Canti Corum has grown into a large international choir as many singers from all nationalities are coming together to sing this Mass for Peace. Some singers are even flying in from the UK just to sing, in what we believe will be a premiere performance of Sir Karl Jenkins’ work in Milan.

Canti Corum was established in 1998 by a group of music lovers from different backgrounds and musical experiences. It is made up of more than 30 singers led by director Vincenzo Simmarano, who is the author of the arrangement of some songs of the Choir repertoire. Canti Corum is committed to expanding its repertoire, carrying on that multifaceted and versatile features that make it stand out, giving a central role to polyphonic music, without neglecting the other aspects of cultured music as well. Its repertoire also includes folk songs, accurate a cappella performances and performances with instrumental accompaniment.

As this is a charity event, donations will be accepted at the door. Your generosity will go towards the “Progetti per la Pace” project of  the Comunita’ di Sant’Egidio.

Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore –  Piazza Santo Stefano – Milano

Given the global challenges we are collectively facing as a result of climate change, it is important to understand the role that green finance can play to ensure we can sustainably transition to a net-zero economy by 2050 at the latest and limit global warming to 1.5C.

Alongside multilateral work on carbon taxes and other measures, financial institutions can play a key role to help incentivize both their retail and corporate customers to make more environmentally sustainable choices, while offsetting the ‘green premium’ through the provision of more affordable capital provided by green finance. Attend this exclusive event to discover how Italian banks can leverage the opportunity with green and sustainable finance to positively impact the environment and our society.
