26th Italian PRO BONO Roundtable

Pro Bono Italia presents the 26th roundtable.

Giovanni Carotenuto, the President of Pro Bono Italia introduced Lia Campione and Lucia Ciocarlan, partner at Linklaters and they welcomed the participants. Few NGOs were introduced during this roundtable:

•  OXFAM ITALIA
•  MAMA CHAT
•  MISSION BAMBINI

THERE WAS ALSO AN UPDATE ON THE ONGOING PBI’S ITALIA PROJECT:

Know Your Rights (KYR). G. Carotenuto briefly introduced the program, run by DLA Piper in partnership with PBI and CILD, which officially started on 19th September and will end on 21st November. L. Liboni (CILD) presented the different steps and purposes thereof, by pointing out that 32 refugees and asylum seekers from different parts of the world and with very different educational backgrounds, are currently receiving training on different areas of the law. A trainee at DLA Piper for the KYR program also intervened, and so did some of the mentors belonging to PBI’s network (G. Albè, M. Pollavini, P. Circosta).

Giovanni Carotenuto also presented the inaugural Italy Pro Bono day, which will take place in Rome on Wednesday, November 28 2018.
