OBJECTIVES AND PROJECTS
• It's a cultural Network characterized by 10 countries – Brazil, Cape Verde, Croatia, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal and Spain - that highlight lively and direct relations with small centers and artists.
• It's a travel in the Mediterranean and lusophone world: a travel made by meetings and exchanges. The ones who travel are the artists, the cultural operators and the same spectators.
• It's a Festival that seeks people and not squares or monuments.
• It offers contemporary folk music and figurative art from the Mediterranean and lusophone world.
• "Shuttlecock" of the cultural tourism; the public can follow it in its various stops, travelling around the Mediterranean and lusophone world.
• Direct experiences of music, art and tastes through the production of excellent food and wine products from the countries which take part to the project.

Our main projects for 2015 are:
- Literary prize;
- Summer course;
- Summer concert;
- Celebrations of 25 years of the institution;

These local activities are mainly:
- Outdoor activities (camping’s, hiking’s, orientation and visits); these are extracurricular activities, promoted outside the school during their holidays.

- Workshops and Conferences; although these workshops have different themes, they all work towards the active participation of young people, and to boost competences of entrepreneurship. For these workshops we usually invite an expert in the specific area (politics, economics, entrepreneurship) that we consider important to share his experience and knowledge. We also invite the local community to be involved in this activity, because we consider this information important for everyone and not only for young people.

As international / european activities we have:
- Several projects under the Youth in Action Programme and Erasmus+ programme concerning youth participation, active citizenship, democracy, entrepreneurship, social inclusion and others. These activities are Training Courses, Seminars and Youth -Exchanges and aim to foster the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities at an European level.
