"Yes, there is hope"
The better world to which we all aspire is now within our reach. Deeply humanitarian, I am convinced that together we can move mountains by providing concrete solutions to tomorrow's challenges.
In 2016, driven by the desire to take part in this movement of awareness, I launched the Better World Fund.
Everywhere in the world, women and men are creating, innovating, and taking action for social inequalities and education. The Better World Fund’s ambition is to highlight and financially support these actions that give hope. The power of cinema and art seemed to me an obvious way to raise awareness and inspire global world citizens to act for the future of our planet."

Masterclass on Diplomacy: Fostering East-West Dialogue
In light of Venice’s historic role as the first state to establish a permanent diplomatic mission abroad, the Better World Fund presents a Masterclass on Diplomacy as a powerful means to foster dialogue between East and West. This session will explore the evolution of diplomacy, its essential role in building bridges across cultures, and its ongoing relevance in today’s interconnected world. At its core, the masterclass will highlight diplomacy as a pathway to human fraternity — promoting mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation across diverse societies.
