Its registered is in Malta however its main centre of activities is in Italy and in other countries on mainland Europe including Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.

The activities and collaborations the Foundation are focused on its fields of activity and are open collaborations with Municipalities and other public entities, education institutions at secondary, pre-tertiary and teritary level and NGO's as well as private organisations.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is that of creating spaces for personal and professional development through learning and exchange and we follow a philosophy that one learns also by watching others learn. In a world where individuals have less time at their disposal we work at the merger of education, socialising and self development mostly through innovation in our education product. We provide space for exchange but we also work following a work-in-public work ethic in so far as our projects pipeline and concepts are concerned. We publish our ideas and invite input from stakeholders in order that together we can get closer to realising ideas.

Main Projects / Activities

The Foundation has a full training programme in the fields of lifelonglearning and culture for 2009 - 2010 that is published on its website. We are also involved in the steering committee of the INTER network for intercultural education as well as in the DIVIS project on the use of audiovisuals in multi lingual classrooms. We are presently running a workshop / photography / audiovisual project in several European countries focused on the school's role in the integration of immigrant families in society.
