Main Association’s objectives and mission statements are: to promote diversity and its plurality in all forms, to defend universal values and human rights, to valorize cultural exchange in national and international contexts to allow mutual understanding and reciprocal respect, to support rise of cultural awareness of each other differences with particular attention to young generations, to fight any form of discrimination and social inequality in the public sphere.
Main projects and activities can be synthesize as follow:

Nuovi Profili, and its constituency can contribute to the network in many different ways. Mainly we can put in the fore our experience in the Genovese and Italian contexts with a particular attitude toward social and educational projects/activities. Secondly, given that most members were born in different foreign countries (mainly from the Mediterranean area), Nuovi Profili can boost off a “emic” approach to the central questions ALF aims to set out: in other words, Nuovi Profili can bring into the fore a vision from the inside and inner part of the main framework of reference (constituted by addressed beneficiaries) of ALF program. Finally, last but not least Nuovi Profili can bring into the ALF national network other local and national associations with whom selected activities and actions - addressed to most excluded and unpowered social strata - have been implemented.
Nuovi Profili emerged from the will of a group of young people born or grown up in Italy, all carrying different cultures but sharing the same social spaces and public arenas . Joining the Alf network will mean for Nuovi Profili to strengthen the original idea of interaction between people coming from different cultures, countries and backgrounds that might lead to new cultural and social profiles whose identity is constituted by a mosaic of different cultural elements and traits. Enlarging our contact network will allow us to improve the quality of our activities and to respond to the new demanding circumstances of our multicultural society. If our ultimate goal has been always to pursue the realization of a better equal civil society, participation to ALF will imply a decise step onward in fostering active citizenship and participation in a wider Euro-Mediterranean perspective.
