A BACKGROUND OF IMPACTFUL CHANGE
Your work in interviewing migrant communities and translating their needs and experiences into concrete political recommendations has truly borne fruit. This is your chance to celebrate this milestone and take pride in the excellent work you have accomplished together!
Alongside the student activities, the event will host a landmark International Conference. On 23 May, Italian policymakers and local authorities will gather with an important mission: to present and adopt the Local Action Plan Against Racism and for Integration.
The Action Plan marks an unprecedented achievement, not only for the political representatives, but for all the international students who helped shape it through their commitment, curiosity, and integrity.
