Chiara is a university student living away from home, eager to discover herself and the rest of planet Earth.

She calms down and learns to cook for eighty people at a time. Youth Pride Camp.

Within the Arcigay Giovani network, he actively participated in various initiatives, including the second Agorà in Perugia and the third Agorà in Bologna, as well as the Youth Pride Camp, where, in particular, the latter instilled in him the desire to do, to rediscover himself and to build a cohesive and sincere group!
NICHOLAS OF DOMITIUS
Head of the Central Area and Planning

FRANCESCO PRIMICERI
Responsible for programming and relations with student organizations
Francesco was born in the province of Lecce back in 1994. In 2013, he left home, both for studies and, perhaps above all, to find a place where he could figure out how to live his life. In Trento, he came into contact with Arcigay and, soon after, with the newly formed Rete Arcigay Giovani. Thanks to the people he met at the association and their commitment to the cause, he realized that the only way to truly live who he is is to accept himself. Since then, he has tried everything he can to help others who have experienced, or are experiencing, that same hardship; and he does his best to grow the association and the network.
Her job in coordination is to stress Serena and prevent her dictatorial side from prevailing. She writes timetables and invents role-playing games.
