My name is Giulia, I am 23 and I hold a Bachelor degree in Languages and European Cultures. My job is to take care of our participants before and during the training, and make them feel welcome and at their ease. It is in a friendly, positive and warm environment that the best learning process takes place. I follow the preparation and implementation steps, including providing our teachers and educators with all the support needed to apply for Erasmus+ funding and all the assistance regarding the logistic, travel and accommodation arrangements.
