Educational background
I began my undergraduate studies by earning a bachelor’s degree in 'Philosophy, International and Economic Studies' (PISE) from Ca' Foscari University of Venice in 2020, with a thesis entitled "Re-Appropriation of the Past and Creation of a New National Narrative in East-Central Europe-The Hungarian Case." The thesis research was conducted in part during the exchange semester I took part in through the Erasmus+ program, between September 2019 and January 2020, at ELTE University in Budapest, Hungary.
I completed my studies at the master’s degree in 'International Cooperation for Human Rights and Cultural Heritage' (I-CONTACT), at the University of Bologna in 2023, with a thesis entitled "The Rights of Deaf People in Italy: between accessibility, representation and awareness. An Anthropological Approach." During my MA, I had the opportunity to spend a semester at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey, thanks to the Erasmus + program (February 2022-July 2022).
