ISI in collaboration with the Dicastero Giovani ed Eventi of the City of Lugano and RSI Rete Due. The success of the first edition led the organisers to augment the offering: the audience, especially youth, will be able to take part in 18 meetings that stretch from theatre performances to photography labs, and from encounters to lectures
and film screenings. More information and calendar of events. | | | EUROPEAN JOURNALISM OBSERVATORY (EJO) |  | The EJO expands Eastward thanks to funding from the Swiss National Fund for
