Main Projects / Activities

UNIVERSITÀ DELLE LIBERETÀ is an integral part of the cultural life of the city, with its promotion of meetings, debates, initiatives of information and qualified cultural spreading, formation and modernization always in line with the principles of life long education. Some years ago our association has decided to work on European projects in order to widen its knowledge not only of the Italian cultural reality, but also of European different situations and needs. We believe that this will be one of the most important sources of cultural enrichment for the teachers, learners and operators of our association. All the information, advice and experiences that we receive from our partners will be invaluable in improving our work in long life education, helping us progressing and updating our teaching methods. We coordinate and participate in many Grundtvig, leonardo and transversal LLL projects
