Last week, from May 13 to 16, Rosto Solidário hosted significant events as part of the EuropEdges project. Among those was the “International Youth Meeting”, a melting pot of cultures, where students from Arrifana Secondary School and young people from partner organizations in Italy (USMA), Romania (Fundatia Ikaros), Greece (Pylon One) and Latvia (ECRRED) came together to share their unique experiences in a vibrant intercultural environment.
