Podcast “Italy in the OSCE”

Fifty years after the signing of the Helsinki Final Act, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) continues to be a key platform for fostering dialogue and cooperation on our continent through a multidimensional approach to security.

From combating human trafficking to cybersecurity, from respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms to dialogue with civil society, the OSCE is today committed to promoting dialogue and cooperation based on the principles adopted in Helsinki in 1975 and the commitments undertaken by participating States in the three dimensions of the OSCE: politico-military, economic-environmental, and human rights.

To promote greater awareness of this international organization and its many activities, we have created the podcast “Italy in the OSCE.” Through the voices of Italians working in the OSCE, we will introduce you to the structure, themes, and priorities of the OSCE agenda.

The episodes, which will be released weekly in Italian, can be listened to on major podcast platforms or downloaded from the active links in the schedule below.

Enjoy listening!
