Dino has been working in IAL FVG for 26 years. He started as a teacher for young people. Since then he has been involved as Projects Leader in international projects, such as European Youth Start project (where the aim was to improve the quality of developing training strategies and methodologies, tools for teachers, training of trainers), Latin American and East European projects (to foresee and support the cultural, social and economic processes of the territory) and National/Regional projects such as Apprenticeship.
He likes walking and scouting, and especially likes knowing places, people, thoughts and way of thinking… His personal motto is: keep on moving, keep on learning, it’s the most important thing!
