I worked for the Misano Adriatico council as a youth worker. When austerity hit the country, and the Council could not afford to offer extracurricular activities any longer, I co-founded the organisation “Fuori Orario” to secure the continuity of a care net for vulnerable families. This involved:• Freelance policy research• Advocacy• Submitting bids to the Province of Rimini to secure funds• Mentoring and supporting 40 children through “Fuori Orario” activities and services.• Fostering relationships with experts that could deliver courses.
