Hello everyone!

I am Giulia Durante, a 27-year-old professional originally from Southern Italy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and International Cooperation from Sapienza University and a Master’s degree in Global Management and Politics from LUISS Guido Carli. Over the years, I have become increasingly interested in how public policies and development programmes can meaningfully improve people’s lives and foster more inclusive communities.

I currently work in consulting for the public sector, supporting institutions in designing, managing, and evaluating projects funded through national and European programmes. These experiences have strengthened my passion for evidence-based and human-centred policymaking.  

Through MESCI, I aim to deepen my analytical skills and strengthen my ability to contribute to policies and projects that expand opportunities for individuals and communities. I am excited to be part of a programme that brings together diverse perspectives and a shared commitment to development, inclusion, and positive social impact.
