Project Activities

Within the framework of our project, volunteers will play a fundamental role within our team at GIOSEF ITALY. They will be at the forefront of various communication and marketing activities for the third sector, actively contributing to the growth of their skills in fields such as communication, marketing, radio production, audio technology, public speaking, and DJing. Through these experiences, they will have the opportunity to promote social causes and support the empowerment of young people.

Centro Penc
