Three Italian preparatory tracks

Trust and coexistence

Practices that strengthen mediation, solidarity and peaceful coexistence in Italy.

Contributions society overlooks

Economic, social, cultural, linguistic, religious and civic contributions of minorities in Italy.

Voice, decisions and peace

Effective participation of people belonging to minorities in decisions affecting them.
