5 Committee on Culture and Education

Enrico Artuso

I was born in the north of Italy in 1995 from a middle class background. Despite always living there, I grew up as a citizen of the world, travelling as much as possible, especially to the UK.

I am currently studying Violin and Music Composition in a conservatoire and I am into theatre and graphic design because I believe the best way to bring people together and to build a better future is through the arts. Interestingly enough, MEP is aimed in the same direction. Therefore, I am glad I can join this year session in Vienna the CP of the Committee on Culture and Education.
