ISOC chose Catania as the only stage in the world event promoted by the global community to celebrate a special edition of #InterCommunity2017, which has involved more than 50 Internet Society sites worldwide, simultaneously connected to the central event that is held in Los Angeles, California and broadcast live streaming from our WebTV JustTiVu.tv (September 19, 2017)
The choice of the sicilian place was motivated by the organizers: in Italy we chose Sicily for its “hub” conditions because of its strategic position in the center of the Mediterranean, which made it a crossroad where cultures and ideas have met over the centuries in a mix of traditions and beliefs capable of building cooperation, growth and innovation.

There were 70 delegates participating at the workshop from the nations competing in the World Health Organization. . The group initially attended the recovery and safety operations of the migrant through simulations that took place at the Harbour of Catania directly on the ship and then, in the afternoon, deepened the themes of the “Diagnosis on the quay” Project within the hall ” Dusmet ”of the Catania’s hospital.
