The association "Inclusion Go" (I Go) is a young NGO located in the little town of Pignola in the hearth of Basilicata, south of Italy.
The association it was founded from a group of volunteers, local and EVS, that learned more about the value of the inclusion of young people through active participation in local and European communities.
The main aims of the association are:

The young people that until now we involved in our activities are youngsters from the 14 till the 26 years old. We are making activities with them because we know that in the next few years they will be the change maker of our community and the once in charge to develop our communities. We are developing different events of social inclusion made by non formal methods to increase the interest and the participation of those youngsters.

At the moment the center is open only once a week and the activities are managed by Michele Corsini, the target is to involve more participants
