Associations
In October 2012 I founded the Association “PrendiParte” in Bologna (Italy) and I contributed to the creation and management of the project “Oltrescuola Elementari”, an educational project for second-generation children attending primary school. As a representative and coordinator, I organized the activities in collaboration with other 20 volunteers, created partnerships with other institutions, maintained relationships with the families, and planned specific educational interventions.
