"There are two essential components of the future of Europe and our country: equality and youth -" asserts Gianna Martinengo, president of the Association - We want to combine them in order to contribute to ferrying the current educational context towards a new interpretation of training, oriented not so much towards traditional skills and abilities but rather towards those of the future. Offering an overview of emerging professions to the "weaker" subjects of the labor market, namely young people and women, means presenting, through moments of orientation, comparison, and dialogue like this one, the professions that currently offer the greatest development opportunities and effectively understand in which perspective one should position oneself regarding the choices that concern their educational and professional path."

Introducing Gianna Martinengo, creator of FutureCamp Europe. Bringing their own experience: Daniela Bellomo, Marina Carini, Assunta Croce, Daniela Jabes, Anita Longo, Tullia Martiradonna, Maria Luisa Nolli, Marisa Porrini, Patrizia Riso, Giulia Veronesi.
