Sofia Mastrostefano
Programme Manager, Institute for International Political Studies

From start to finish, the ADEL Program immerses participants in a stimulating and supportive environment. Thanks to the team’s thoughtful design, flawless organization, and genuinely welcoming spirit, it creates a space combining deep professional learning with personal enrichment.

What made my experience truly unique was the group of brilliant and diverse participants with whom I could openly question established perspectives, challenge assumptions, and build a more plural and nuanced understanding of the world, rooted in realism, yet guided by fundamental values.

Professionally, the program strengthened my strategic thinking and exposed me to innovative tools for foresight and policy dialogue. Personally, it reignited my drive to question deeply held convictions, turning dialogue into shared insight.

I leave with new understandings, new connections, and renewed curiosity. What I will carry forward most is the energy of an experience that was not only intellectually rewarding but also deeply human.
