From Marta Fischer, Blue Community / Blue University PUCPR in Brazil:
The PUCPR Water Committee receives a technical visit from Italian activist Filippo Bellini to exchange experiences on Blue Communities.
The technical visit carried out today, November 27, 2025, marked another step in the internationalization of the actions of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR) within the scope of Blue Communities. As a Blue University since 2023, the institution received Filippo Bellini, a socio-sanitary operator and activist from the Forum Italiano dei Movimenti per l’Acqua, interested in learning firsthand about the Brazilian model of universities committed to the ethical and community-based management of water. The purpose of the visit was to understand the practices already consolidated at PUCPR and to evaluate the feasibility of adapting these initiatives to the Italian context, where only one pilot experience of a blue community is underway.
