The “Caravella” prize was awarded to Congolese religious Sr Angel Bipendu for her commitment to rescue migrant operations in Lampedusa, Italy. Through her contribution as a medical doctor, Sr Bipendu, described by Italian media as a nun on the frontline, saved the lives of over 47 000 migrants, most arriving on boats from Africa.

 

From 6 to 9 September, the Festival of Mediterranean Journalists in Otranto, now in its XVth year, brought together prominent actors in the world of information, academia, institutions and diplomacy to discuss issues relating to the Mare Nostrum basin at Largo Porta Alfonsina in Lecce’s famous tourist centre. Held at the end of every summer on the Italian shores of the Adriatic Sea, this cultural event has since 2009 become a point of reference for reflection on Italian and international current affairs and the challenges facing communications and media practitioners.
