New Wellness Education – APS

New Wellness Education – APS was established in 2020 in Lecce, Italy, and has expanded its operations to two premises in the Cuneo province: Cortemilia since 2020 and Bergolo since 2022. The organization focuses on providing educational opportunities for local and international youth, including those who are NEET, young migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, with the support of international funding programs such as Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps as well as national programs such Garanzia Giovani, Fondo Sociale Europeo led and promoted by Agenzia Nazionale Politiche Attive Lavoro. The NGO's vision is to offer comprehensive education and promote wellbeing, aiming to enhance the mental, physical, and overall quality of life for both local and foreign youth. Our work covers various topics such as youth employability, sustainable practices, permaculture, cyber safety, digital education, entrepreneurial skills, and active participation in cultural, social, and educational aspects of communities. By focusing on education, wellbeing, and social engagement, the organization believes it can address significant social issues like unemployment and social exclusion while harnessing the creativity and spontaneity of young people for a better future in Europe. The strategic priorities of New Wellness Education – APS are categorized into three areas: Work Well, Learn Well, and Digital Wellbeing. These priorities are implemented through six pillars: Learning How to Learn, Art & Culture, Food, Relationship & Communication, Body & Self Awareness, and Environment & Space. The organization utilizes various methodologies such as online learning, trainings, youth exchanges, volunteering, disconnection camps, individual coaching, conferences, podcasts, and events to achieve their objectives. The key objectives of the organization include providing educational opportunities, promoting physical and mental wellbeing, fostering youth participation in social life, encouraging healthy lifestyles and sustainable practices, supporting young people in their professional careers, nurturing creativity and initiative, instilling a proactive attitude toward education, promoting European and universal values in education, incorporating non-formal learning practices, and enhancing the recognition and quality of youth work.
