The General Assembly of Assifero (the Italian Association of Philanthropic Foundations and Organisations) is an annual event that brings together over 140 associated organizations to discuss issues and exchange ideas. It was held on 15 and 16 June in Palermo.

To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Assifero chose to hold the assembly in the Sicilian capital, a symbolic choice of a city where philanthropy is far less visible than elsewhere. Sharing Assifero’s choice of location, we supported the work of the association and took the opportunity to present our own initiative: “Enhanced School Autonomy”.
