Giuseppe Toninelli

Consultant, Journalist

I’m Italian with a Sicilian heart and a European mind. After 3 years of experience as a journalist for the daily “La Sicilia”, in 2015 I was sent to EXPO Milano on behalf of "Giornalisti nell'Erba", the largest and youngest editorial staff in the world dealing with environmental journalism. Carlsberg Italia awarded my work at Expo by chosing me to join the Corporate Affairs dept and support the function in all its areas. Since January 2018 I started working as a freelancer on communication projects and CSR. In my free time I joined the organization of TEDxLegnano (2018) collaborating with the media team and TEDxBustoArsizio (2019) as press office and pr manager. Now I’m Licesee and Organizer of TEDxRiesi (www.tedxriesi.com). In 2018 I became a Climate Leader of the Al Gore Climate Reality Project. As a journalist, finally, I was sent to Poland to join the COP24 of Katowice, to Spain to join the COP25 of Madrid and to Belgium to join the Forum for the Future of Agricolture (FFA )in Bruxelles on behalf of "Giornalisti Nell’Erba".

Islands towards new frontiers: the island is one of the oldest topics in the world. We want to make people living on the island of Sicily to rethink about it and o forward towards new intepretations.

I've been a member of the social media team of TEDxLegnano and press coordiantor of TEDxBustoArsizio. After these experiences I decided to organize the TEDx in Riesi (Sicily) the village where I was born and raised.
