The city of Trieste has been experiencing a strong presence of unaccompanied foreign migrant minors for years. This roundtable is an opportunity for the public to discuss and share the results of a study on unaccompanied foreign minors in Trieste, listening to those who work every day in services, schools, reception centers, and institutions. Through the exchange of diverse experiences, the meeting aims to better understand the challenges and opportunities associated with the growth of these foreign children living in our region. It is a moment of dialogue to reflect together on how to build paths of inclusion, relationships, and a future.
