“This year Posterheroes has a new cultural supporter. Since we aim at raising awareness on the notion of equality and decent work, combining it with the themes related to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, we chose to involve The International Labour Organisation (ILO). In its activity, ILO aims at promoting a positive scenario in which employment is carried out in conditions of freedom, equality, security and human dignity for men and women, with self-respect, in well-being and guaranteeing personal development for each human being, key requirements for the achievement of sustainable development and social justice. For these reasons, our association and our partner Favini have decided to enhance the impact of their work through a valuable collaboration.” Christian Racca, President of PLUG.
