Opis
Basilicata Link is a non-profit youth organisation based in Matera, committed to promoting active citizenship, social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and sustainable local development through European and international cooperation.
The organisation designs and implements projects funded by programmes such as the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) and Erasmus+ and other European initiatives. Its activities focus on youth participation, non-formal education, volunteering, cultural heritage, environmental sustainability, social innovation, and community engagement.
B-Link works with local authorities, schools, cultural organisations (in particular with IAC), and international partners to create learning opportunities that empower young people and strengthen local communities. Through international mobility projects, training courses, youth exchanges, and long-term volunteering, the organisation encourages intercultural learning.
