Since 1983 I have been working in areas related to the development of the potential of young people. Particularly, I have acquired a wide experience in the sectors of transnational learning mobility (intercultural education, exchanges, volunteering, education and professional and training internships) and active participation processes in society (information, guidance and leadership in the local, national and European contexts).I held the position of Vice-President, first, and Secretary General, then, of the CIGRI (Italian Youth Committee for International Relations, a body recognized nationally and internationally as the de facto national youth council of Italy, 1988-1994); I was elected Vice-President of CENYC (Council of European National Youth Committees, 1990-1992) and Member of the Board of Auditors of YFEC (Youth Forum of the European Communities, 1992-1993); I have been Treasurer and then President of ICYE (International Culture and Youth Exchange, 1997-2007).In June 2023, I've been elected Board Member of the European Youth Card Association (EYCA).Over the past 30 years I have been working for public and private entities in the fields of information and guidance for young people; training of stakeholders and planning of policies and action plans in favor of youth at the local, national, European and international level. I can provide expertise in the fields of information, guidance and training on European policies for youth.I developed the Eurodesk project in Italy. Since 1997, I hold the position of Chairperson of Eurodesk Italy, the non-profit body governed by public law operating the project in Italy.Among my more recent activities within Eurodesk Italy, I am in charge of projects to provide technical assistance to Italian public authorities managing EU co-funded programs.In short: over the years, I developed widespread skills, experiences and knowledge about EU and youth policies/programs, working as consultant with:- European Union DGs and Technical Assistance Offices,- national, regional and local public authorities,- international and national NGOs.
