Hello everyone,
My name is Francesco, I’m 26, it has been almost a month since I started this great experience.
As an Interreg Volunteer I joined the Managing Authority of the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia 2021-2027 Programme in Trieste, Italy.
So far, everything is going well, being a volunteer is a very rich experience at both personal and professional level.
My involvement at the Managing Authority consists in supporting communication with the aim to promote the work of the Programme and European Territorial Cooperation.
I had the chance to work on several different tasks, making the work interesting. By now I’ve done things such as translation, data revisions, participate to EU meetings, writing reports, post news and events on website and sharing social media content.
From the very first moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by my colleagues. They are available for any kind of questions or problems that may occur. It is a great opportunity to volunteer in a multicultural city on the Italian Slovenian border. Also on work place all thoughts and task are shared in both languages, embodying the European spirit. To improve teamwork and connection between co-workers we also share a meal all together once a week.
