We will create a blog that will collect the personal experiences of the participants.

Those knowledges allowed me work in the audiovisual. In addition, I have the support of people with extensive knowledge journalistic, economic and business who will help me making forums, discussions, conferences, etc.

Our project will have no less than 40 participants, but given the number of potential beneficiaries, it is likely that this number will be much higher.
