We are happy to share the AIANI Activity Report 2021! As you can see, AIANI was able to carry out a good number of projects and activities, even though the pandemic continued to interfere with our lives and posed a big challenge for all of us.
It became the “new normal” to hold meetings online, to plan projects with flexible dates, to plan and postpone, and reschedule on a regular basis. Another difficult year, but with many highlights, nevertheless.
We were able to overcome these new challenges also thanks to our partners, colleagues, supporters and friends. So a big THANK YOU goes out to them for their commitment, dedication and valuable support throughout the year.
