The Association promotes the growth and the development of the economy based on the person as member of a community. The association believes on a human development where the social integration is in the centre: in this way, Il Ventaglio is carrying out some actions in order to encourage an intercultural social integration in Italy, understand the diversity as resource and not as a problem in the modern society or as a cause of division between people.
Il Ventaglio founded its actions in the human solidarity and its main objectives are:
- to interesting the public opinion on the social economy;
- to support intercultural educational projects;
- to promote volunteer initiatives;
- to encourage a real dialogue between the culture and exchanging of knowledge, promoting the intercultural integration.
- to combat the racism and discrimination;
- to promote the economical and social integration of the women and child.

- “Intrecci”, addresses to promote and coordinate a network of the immigrant women associations in the Emilia Romagna Region.
- “Intrecci’s seminar” dedicated to the situation of women immigrants and civic integration in the Emilia Romagna Region.

- “3 donne sul 14” a documentary about the women immigrants in Bologna’s Province.
