Our contribution to the Network can come out of our specialization in mother and child health and in education. This has been developed through projects and experiences oriented to integrate people coming from different cultures, with special care to gender specificity. Our experience within public services and our mediation intervention allow us to directly interface with institutions and get the right appreciation of the importance of our approach.
Over past years our organisation is trying to develop and increase its network.
Within our work of promotion mental and physical health of migrants, intercultural dialogue and the culture of hospitality, more and more we feel that is important to get in touch with different private social network, in order both to increase knowledge and promote intercultural dialogue, and also to seek new funding to continue our work.
