👋 Welcome to Mattia Gisola, our new Communications intern!
Mattia joins MPG for the next six months to support our communications and outreach work.
He brings a Master’s in Communication & Media from the University of Turin and experience in digital media, content creation, and migrants’ rights.
On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we’re reminded that migration is about people, cultures, and shared futures.

Migrants’ stories matter. Their contributions deserve recognition.
