Il Martino

The cultural association “Il Martino” was established in October 2014 in Martinsicuro (TE) and it is a non-profit, apolitical and independent organization that believes in the fundamental values of freedom and justice. For these reasons, it promotes the following ideas: tolerance, the respect of differences and equality among people; the meeting between differences and cultural, intercultural and institutional dialogue; the human rights as a whole and the rights of minorities; the active participation to social progress; the development of the local community and of society; the sharing and solidarity; the social inclusion; the individual growth; the creativity; the charity; the European citizenship. Il Martino rejects every kind of authoritarianism, fascism, discrimination, intolerance and xenophobia. The organization, created besides the magazine “Il Martino” (the NGO has the same website of the magazine), has so far promoted cultural, social and solidarity activity. In the last few months, the organization has decided to contribute to the social and cultural development of young people and territory of Martinsicuro using the tools in favor of youth mobility provided by the European Union.
