The doors of the Stazione Leopolda will open for registration at 18:30 hours. Giovanni Melogli will kick off the evening by introducing Voices explaining the origin and purpose of the project. Right after, Iva Nenadic will guide us through the programme giving an idea of the variety of discussions and sessions that await in the two upcoming days.

These initial presentations will be followed by the institutional greetings that will mark the beginning of the first edition of the European Festival of Journalism and Media Literacy in Florence.
