Rise Hub

The Association "Rise Hub" was established in October 2015 in Valle di Comino, a rural area composed by many small towns surrounded by mountains between the cities of Rome (120 km) and Naples (180 km). Itsmem bers are mainly women (aged 25-36) and refugees (aged 23-32). The main aim of our Organization is to create new models of growth and development in our territory. We consider the rural environment we live in as an opportunity instead of a threat, and we seek to create an ecosystem of resources, inspirations and ideas which can lead to the improvement of the position of all residents. The Organization deals with: • Educational and socio-cultural events and activities; • Sustainable tourism and promotion of local resources; • Vocational training and education, • Research, study and analysis on innovation, co-working, Information and Communications Technology (ICT); • Youth participation in mobility, education and volunteerism ; • Co-development projects in the South of the world; • Legal advice and intercultural mediation to migrants, asylum seekers and refugees; • Best practices of inclusion and integration of migrants.
