Mission and Objectives

Mission:
The Association is dedicated to reducing poverty through international cooperation and with activities in Italy. A.N.O.L.F. works to fight racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism. Occasions for meeting other cultures are not limited to tourism, but are also influenced by the arrival of immigrants, a fairly recent situation in Italy, but with millions of immigrants already settled in other parts of Europe.
Objectives
• To promote a better interfaith and intercultural understanding and tolerance
• to reflect the benefits of multiculturalism through cultural expressions and artistic creations produced also by the immigration experience
• to promote anti-stereotypes, fundamental rights and citizenship, to disprove the legitimacy of the xenophobia with the cohesion of the States involved
• to promote and encourage intercultural dialogue through interactive work between visual artists (cinema, video-documentary, photography),musicians, school and Universities, in order to share a common imaginary world.
