The Good World Citizen team

The Good World Citizen team is made up of a group of qualified and global citizens who share the same vision: to build a more open, aware and supportive community.
The diverse skills and experiences of the board members help to define the direction and growth of the Florence-based non-profit organisation, which is committed to promoting global citizenship and intercultural dialogue.

Our board

The Good World Citizen leadership is made of people from different backgrounds – academic, scientific, artistic and social – united by a desire to build bridges between cultures.

Their ideas and professional skills help shape the organisation’s projects and mission, which continues to evolve thanks to the contribution of an international network of collaborators and volunteers.

Caterina Garzonio
Social Media Manager
Caterina was born in Florence, Italy, to an Italian father and Russian mother. Bilingual and with dual citizenship, she began to think about her cultural identity at an early age, discovering that she was ultimately a sum of her affiliations and learning not to fear being different, but rather to appreciate diversity in herself and others. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Art History and Cultural Heritage Studiesand has always had wide-ranging interests, cultivating artistic and sporting disciplines from different cultures. Caterina chose the profession of translator because, in searching for the words to give voice to the thoughts of others in her own language, she has to consider different points of view and always learns something new.
