The Europe Challenge

Watch this webinar to discover how local Italian libraries are making Europe more democratic, one community at a time, supported through The Europe Challenge. You can look forward to libraries and local communities from Albino, Altamura, Cavriago, Genova, Milan, Moliterno, Nave, Pallanza, Verbania, Rome, Tortona, and Turin, sharing their experience in building social cohesion, leading climate action, fighting disinformation, and so much more!

This webinar is part of the If Librarians Ran Europe series, hosted by the European Cultural Foundation. It highlights the initiatives of participants in The Europe Challenge, demonstrating how libraries can help address the shared democratic challenges facing all Europeans. With thanks to Fondazione Cariplo for their support of this webinar and the wider programme.
