Francesca PEDONE

Italy 

Francesca recently graduated in Human Rights and Multilevel Governance from the University of Padua. She worked for different national NGOs and volunteered for international organisations. Her last working experience, at the Primary Prevention department of the Italian League for the Fight against Cancer (LILT), gave her the opportunity to organise and coordinate specific cancer prevention activities especially dedicated to children and adolescents. One of her goals is to raise awareness among new generations about the risks connected to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles. She strongly believes that tailored health education programmes could play a fundamental role in the spread of prevention best practices, also facilitating inter-generational confrontations.
