EVENTS & PROJECTS
Acca international conference
The ACCA International conferences are an opportunity to explore how relations between Calabria and the Calabrian Diaspora can be mutually beneficial to Calabria and the Calabresi who live outside Calabria. It is estimated that there are more than 7 Million people of Calabrese origin who live outside Calabria whilst there are only about 2 Million who live in Calabria. The Calabrian Diaspora is, therefore, a very large market for Calabria that, properly utilised, could stimulate the Calabrian economy in many ways.
Calabrese of the year
ACCA established the Calabrese of the Year Award to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding individuals with Calabrese heritage and the positive contribution they have made to the community.
sono calabrese series
A series of interviews with members of our community from various backgrounds and generations in which they have the opportunity to share their story.
