We will discuss together with speakers of nation-wide relevance, who will share their experiences and insights upon the challenges facing civil society organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will explore further the problem of the civic space shrinking <\/strong> and of disinformation in Italy. The discussion among the speakers and the open debate will provide an overview of the current political and legal situation in Italy and its social narrative, focusing on hot topics such as: the management of migration flows<\/em>, restrictive measures on democratic participation<\/em> and the protection of human rights<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
