Anna Biffi is a 23 years old student of Languages at the University of Bergamo who is still trying to understand what to do with her (academic) life.

She went to an art high school in Bergamo, but because she wanted something different, she decided to switch and enrolled in that University course.

Is she satisfied? probably not, but at the moment there is nothing that really passionate her. But because she is always looking for something new to study or learn, here we are attending this Digital Humanities Summer Course. Let’s see how this goes, I’ll keep you posted ;)

Caterina Boccalatte, 23, is enrolled in LLSM (Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures) and since March she has been editor-in-chief of UniBG OnAir (the university radio from UniBG).

She is a free spirit, an activist (working at Visionary, an NGO who aims to connect youth and institutions), a lover of art in all its forms and an apprentice interviewer (she collaborates with Bergamonews and attended the Holden School in Turin).

In her free time she loves acting, reading newspapers and exploring her city. She decided to enroll in the Digital Humanities summer course because it was in line with her study plan and because she was interested in the new master's degree course offered by the University.

Drugs that are illegal under international drug control treaties are known as illicit drugs.

Opioids, cocaine, cannabis, and amphetamines are the four main categories of illicit drugs that are often the subject of international statistics. However, a variety of other illegal substances, such as plant-based drugs and synthetic hallucinogens, are covered by international drug control treaties. The "Terminology and Information on Drugs" publication from the UNODC includes a thorough list of illicit drugs.

Illegal substance abuse or dependence can have negative effects on one's physical and mental health as well as, in many situations, other people's wellbeing. Illicit substances differ in their effects on health and wellbeing; some have far less of a negative effect than others.
