INCONTRO ROMANO
We are a platform of professionals and students which aims to highlight jobs where the direct care of the person is the principal focus, because they have the transforming power to make the social environment more human.
Incontro creates spaces for reflection and promotes activities which put the person at the center of focus.
It fosters interdisciplinary research, training with excellence, and international initiatives. With these activities we seek to respond to the urgent challenge of protecting and improving our “shared home”: planet Earth.
An annual international Forum is held in Rome where studies, experiences, initiatives and projects from different countries are shared, revolving around a topic which is general, current and open.
