CENTRO PER LA COOPERAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE

The Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale / CCI is a non-profit and independent association engaged in the analysis, information, training and promotion of knowledge on the issues of international cooperation, European affairs, peace and human rights. We work so that, in a complex and interdependent society, rights, sustainability and equity are at the centre of practices and policies defined through the participation of institutions, civil society, media, the scientific community, the world of work and business. Through education for global citizenship, information, research, advocacy and training, the CCI aims to support the work, and strengthen the knowledge and competences of those involved in the exercise of developing a global society more just, equal, peaceful, and sustainable. We promote the coordination of initiatives and actors operating in the field of international cooperation and local sustainable development, and we are committed to strengthening the European integration project by supporting transnational relations and exploring issues which are crucial for the EU democracy. To achieve its mission, CCI is articulated in two departments: Competenze per la Società Globale / CSG: focused on international cooperation and Global Citizenship Education. CSG promotes/offers services of training, consultancy and awareness-raising at the local, national, and international levels, in collaboration with local entities, companies, associations based in Trentino, and italian, european and international NGOs.
