The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a key document in all our local and international activities for disseminating knowledge of children's rights among minors, young people and adults. The core objective pursued by Arciragazzi is the social inclusion by shaping access to resources and opportunities for all young people (14/30 aged) including youth with few opportunities, minors in care system, youth with migrant background, LGBT young people.
From 2011,due to the constant and deep cooperation with Shannara Social Cooperative dealing with minors at risk, unaccompanied foreign minors and trafficked girls, we started working in deep on topics related to migration and intercultural dialogue by keeping always an eye to the route of youth immigration with a geopolitical approach - first with partners from Balkans and Oriental neighbouring Countries and then with Euro-Mediterranean countries and Africa - for promoting HRE by empowering and enhancing youth social inclusion path. The know-how acquired in the design activities and projects within the Euro-Mediterranean framework allowed us to go through different topics and to encourage young people to be the protagonist and motivate them to be agents of social change. Arciragazzi has developed good practice in the promotion of a cohesive society, allowing to broaden knowledge, providing opportunities for minors and young people (autochtones and migrants) to gain experience outside the local context; to allow adults professional updating dealing with youth; building strategic partnerships for the implementation and study of good practices of interventions in the migration area, in particular unaccompanied foreign minors and young migrants, and the services necessary to achieve a good reception to the local context of the newly. Then, this spectrum of actions has allowed us to build a specific identity at National level (Arciragazzi counts about 50 youth centres located in different Italian region/cities)and from different private and public bodies.
"Our Gold" Youth Exchange has been selected as "best practice" for the BpE (Becoming a part of Europe) by the Italian ANG for international activities with impact on young migrants, asylum seekers and refugees inside the local community, using the principles and approaches of non-formal learning and representing youth work experiences and practices as a tool for social inclusion.
Arciragazzi Portici is the territorial antenna for No Hate Speech Network, it's a member at ENAR (European anti-racism network) and it's a representative at Municipality of Portici for the Equal Opportunities Territorial Commission.

2019, 23/29 September: Engagement of Women in Politics and Entrepreneurship (Beirut, Lebanon)
Organized by Italian National Agency of Erasmus + Youth in cooperation with SALTO-YOUTH EuroMed, French National Agency of Erasmus +, UK National Agency and GIZ Lebanon (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH) and local NGOs and Institutions
The meaningful participation of women in national, local, and community leadership roles has become an important focus on global development policy. Still, some may ask why it matters if women become political leaders, elected policymakers, or civil society activists. Why does the world need more women involved in all aspects of the political process? Women's political participation results in tangible gains for democracy, including greater responsiveness to citizen needs, increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines, and a more sustainable future.

2018, September to 2020 February: KA2 - UpGrad_ME
Project funded by the European Commission Erasmus + Directorate of General Education and Culture
UpGrad_Me is a project whose aim was to develop contents capable to enhance migrant youth employability by building their capacity. The motto “self-branding through a Video CV using your mobile phone" was the acknowledgement by the partners involved of the fact that migrant youths at risk of social exclusion and poverty do not possess a computer, but have all a smart phone, whose potentials are ignored for low awareness in digital literacy. So, included in the learning outcome of the training is the capacity to harness the power of their mobile phone, an element which was also one of the objectives of the project.

Our association is ran by autochtones and young people with different background, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation and identity.
We can put at disposal our know how especially for the intercultural competences and partecipative youth process.
Then the contribution can be "translated" in new local projects so to get large our ray of action and to be more effective at local level.
It's a great opportunity for my association and for my community to have new resources not only in term of founds but also in terms of new partners join ALF Network for implement and sharing best practice, to exchange competences, skills and experiences.
Then some NGOs, already ALF members, suggested us to be in this network because of great opportunity to go in deep on long terms activities more than other founds.
