Associazione Culturale SVEG

Associazione Culturale SVEG is a cultural non-for-profit organization founded in 2014 within the Apulia Region-funded Program “Bollenti Spiriti”. It aims to promote and foster social cohesion through the organization of cultural and sports events as well as through the promotion of educational and recreational activities for children and youth. In particular, SVEG is engaged in: • educational and recreational activities (after-school clubs for primary and secondary school children, summer clubs, art and craft workshops, cooking workshops and sports activities); • social research, aiming to develop and disseminate studies and research in the humanities; • social promotion, intended to promote networking initiatives and the exchange of experiences and best practices; • artistic and cultural events (meetings, exhibitions, higher education courses, theatre and literary events); • sports activities, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of spending quality time outdoor, dissuade youngsters from modern, and yet unhealthy, recreational activities such as videogames, online games and overuse of social networks, and to promote “fairness” and healthy competition. • social and cultural planning aiming to facilitate development at a regional level. As far as planning is concerned, SVEG carries out the following tasks: • assisting public and private organizations in the design and formulation of projects to apply for public funding (at a European, national and regional level); • monitoring national and European programs; • obtaining up-to-date and complete information on EU funding programs and analysing calls for proposals and tender specifications; • creating national and international networks and facilitating the dissemination of project results.
