Description of organisation

Gramigna ODV is an Italian Association that offers social inclusion and sustainable development for disadvantaged people in social farming (refugee, migrants, people with psychiatric disorders, prisoners). We develop educational projects for people and for schools on environmental sustainability issues, rural development and social integration. We work on cooperation with local,
national and international partners. The Gramigna ODV promotes sustainable development, inclusion, empowerment, employability, informal learning, restorative practices, diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights as well as aims on enhancing media literacy, critical thinking and sense of initiative of young people.
Gramigna ODV creates a common understanding of those who may be considered as young people with fewer opportunities and a coherent framework of support for the Erasmus+ programme feature "Equity and Inclusion".
Gramigna ODV will present European Solidarity Corps activities as concrete and realistic opportunities also for staff and young people with special needs or fewer opportunities. Gramigna ODV invests in the intercultural and social skills of young people and youth workers as well as their competences to manage and work with diversity in all its forms. Gramigna ODV promotes European
Solidarity Corps : as a tool to work with young people with fewer opportunities and actively reach out to disadvantaged groups and notably to permit a local development through them.
