“I come from Trieste, that beautiful city hidden between the sea and the mountains, famous for the Bora wind. If the Bora wind doesn’t blow in Trieste, they say something is wrong. I left that wind in 1970, the year I got married and moved to Belgium.
I still remember that trip vividly.

Testimonials
“From the time I arrived, I started learning, meeting new people and making memories. This is my first EU event and the experience is really European. When we started working together I got to see different perspectives on different things. I have a long way ahead. This event helped me to be more socially active, express myself and made me a team player.”

"The Rome Hackathon was my first ever. I was not sure what to expect but I hoped I would be able to come up with interesting solutions for the challenge, learn new things in the process, and get to meet new people. It's been 3 days since I got back and I still can't believe how great it was. It exceeded my hopes in all ways possible."
