General Information
The association was born in 2008 in Palermo (Sicily) after many years of research and experiences in the north of Italy (Bologna, Padova) and abroad (China, Portugal, Greece). The founder members are Giuseppe Rizzuto and Maura Tripi, members of MCE (Movimento di Cooperazione Educativa) who are building up a local network about intercultural approach in educational contexts with the collaboration of several people and organizations. Because of the recent birth, budget is not high, while the main resource is the human one, with excellent competences and network relations.
