Venti di Scambio - Innovation and Creativity

Activity description

Venti di Scambio is an association of social promotion founded in 2009 thanks to a call from the Puglia Region "Principi attivi". The objectives are: - promote active citizenship of young people; - promote solidarity, tolerance and understanding between different cultures; - create a network both at a local level (schools, associations, administrations) and at an international level; - give young people the opportunity to have a space where they can develop new skills and participate more in community life; - create an increasingly large number of young people interested in European issues; - raise young people's awareness of respect for the environment; - increase youth employment and consequently local development and progress. We have 1 more spot free and we are searching for a creative person who is ready to get out of comfort zone, developing some "crazy" art stuff with us!
