Vedogiovane

Vedogiovane is a 24 years old non-profit organisation based in the North-West of Italy. Our mission concerns young people and the social and cultural youth work. Our activities can be grouped up into two branches: 1- Youth policies – This branch not only runs youth information centres, it also develops new projects and reflections about the youth needs and the kind of answers given them by governmental and non-governmental institutions, schools and adults in general. The youth policies branch tries to identify new strategies to answer these needs and offers these strategies to the institutions. Vedogiovane manage centres for disadvantaged youngsters, activites and workshops before and after school time, leisure time activities. The area is mainly aimed at developing the local community, it offers a new vision of young people and their needs. 2. Intercultural sector: the Intercultural sector implements international youth exchanges, EVS, seminars and training courses. The mission of the intercultural sector is to equip the youth of today to be leaders of tomorrow, by instilling in them a sense of civic responsibility, encouraging them to excel in education and entrepreneurship, and exposing them to diverse cultures throughout Europe. In this frame we work to give motivation to young people to participate in EU projects. We also manage a local Eurodeks centre with the mission to raise awareness among young people on learning mobility opportunities and to encourage them to become active citizens.
