TESTIMONIAL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realised that discussion is invaluable, and today, for the first time, I felt heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paolo Ferrante<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illustrator<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m taking away the realisation that I can ask questions without worrying, and that I can try, fail and try again in order to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A genuine conversation between younger generations, managers and business owners, bringing out expectations, different visions and the grey areas that need to be addressed. Maria Elena created a fertile environment for collaboration and inclusion, making the exchange meaningful and generative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paola Fiorio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business owner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
