P.E.CO Progetti europei di cooperazione

P.E.CO. is an Association of Volunteers bore in June 2013 to promote opportunities of mobility and inter-cultural learning for youngsters from Genoa and its region. We try to involve mainly participants with fewer opportunities. The association works with local NGOs and institutions in order to involve local organisations and local communities in international projects . This network helps us to to involve local participants, when possible with fewer opportunities. As it is a young organisation our experience comes from previous activities in other youth organisations, so we are looking for long-term strategic partnerships in order to create our network. Our main activities are: Youth Exchanges, training courses and European Voluntary Service within the Erasmus Plus programme; events in local communities on different themes. Our goal consists in stimulating the personal growth of youngsters, by raising their sense of citizenship, an active participation inside society and a real awareness about their role as European citizens. We try to educate youngsters to a peaceful cohabitation with people coming from different cultures, countries and social conditions, by giving them the opportunity to confront themselves within an inter-cultural environment which stimulates the development of a conscience about the complexity of our society.
