Hi everybody. My name is Eustachio, I was born in Matera. Thanks for the invitation to the community manager workshop. I am eager to learn about the new methods of comunication by means of social networks. When I worked as manager in a production company, based in Milan, I used traditional and old methods of communication. Today the world has changed significantly and you absolutely have to update yourself to seize the new opportunities. I would like to acquire more digital tools to add to my managerial experience and collaborate with the Matera 2019 project.
See you soon.

Wow, 17 out of 30 (I understand we are going to be that many) have responded in less than 24 hrs. A really really good sign,

By the way if you prefer to switch to Italian from time to time feel free to do so, no worries. None of us except John has English as their first language…
