My name is Irene Giancarli and I come from Rome, Italy. My interest in development and cooperation was born two years ago, when I started my voluntary activity as an Italian teacher for immigrants. So, after graduated in Law at University of Rome Tor Vergata, I decided to apply for Mesci, in order to improve my knowledge in International Economics. Mesci is exactly what I need: the technical aspects of Economics are taught from the ground in a multicultural learning environment, with students from all over the world.
