General Information
The board at TDM 2000 is composed mostly from people under the age of 30. We have a core group of 20 people stably working for the organization and around 40 that give a hand according to the activities and projects they are interested in. We are all unpaid volunteers. We have more then 200 members. We have branches in Malta, Latvia, Germany and Estonia. We have established an international network called TDM 2000 International. We organize reception projects, training courses, seminars, youth exchanges, conferences, campaigns and other concrete projects for the local development. Supporters: the European Commission, Council of Europe, Foundation of the “Banco di Sardegna”, University of Cagliari, Municipality of Cagliari, Regional Government and other local Public Bodies. We receive financial and in-kind contributions by private. We have quite good connections with local media. TDM 2000 cooperates with other Sardinian young peoples groups and associations. We work with an average budget of 200.000 € per year.
Mission and Objectives

TDM 2000 is an independent, non profit organisation with educational aims that manage young people willing to participate in the volunteer sector.
It contributes to the development of personal and professional skills organizing intercultural activities and involving the participants in practical experiences of life that allow sharing and exchanging of ideas, opinions and experiences.
Field of interest: human rights education, intercultural learning, environment, democracy, active citizenship, interfaith dialogue, non formal education, international cooperation.
All the activities we implement are thought, planned and realized by young people. Members’ age: from 15 to 36. They are students, workers, unemployed, disadvantaged youngsters.
We also work to foster cooperation among public bodies like local municipalities and the regional government with their counterparts at the international level.
The activities it undertakes include the organization of various multicultural projects according to the aim of enhancing Sardinia (its culture and its territories).

Main Projects / Activities

TDM 2000 has branches in Malta, Latvia and Germany and Estonia. We have an international network called TDM 2000 International. We implement around 10 projects per year at local level and around 30 projects abroad (in which we are partially organizers and partially partners).
The organization and the realization of these projects contribute to development of young people by making them responsible for the activities that they undertake and by broadening their understanding of cultural differences. We organize two big reception projects: International Summer Week and International Winter Week. Both are aimed at intercultural integration. ISW is realized in Sardinia and IWW is organized abroad as it aims to promote regions of Europe that are not so well known.
We are accredited as hosting, sending and coordinating organization through the European Voluntary Service.
We have been recognized as Non Government Voluntary Organization by the Government of Sardinia.
We participate in Leonardo Da Vinci Programme.
