XXII INTERNATIONAL IFOTES Congress

Lignano Sabbiadoro (Italy), 18-22 October 2023

XXII IFOTES CONGRESS IN LIGNANO - ITALY

The value of being there

The IFOTES Congress 2023 in Lignano was an opportunity for TES volunteers to come together to gain knowledge and share experiences on how to improve listening in a changing world.
They brought the desire and enthusiasm to meet and to contribute to building more human dimensions in all contexts of life.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you, participants, speakers, trainers, volunteers, professionals, institutions and supporters for your motivated presence and your passionate participation! 

See you again in about three years!
