Mission and Objectives

Our Mission:
Institute for Sustainable Education and Development (ISEDE) is a non-profit organization and an interdisciplinary platform that aim to promote equal learning.
This methodology will enable the global community particularly practitioners of non-formal learning to comprehend the relativity of those suffering social exclusion either directly or indirectly to understand its causes, how it negatively affects the socioeconomic environment and why we need to mitigate such gaps with today’s solution to contribute to the health, wealth and future productivity of citizens

Our Objectives:
- Promoting Educational Programs for youth and promoting inter-cultural exchange
- Creating awareness of environment protection and energy efficiency
- Addressing the human rights concern of children, women, elderly, impaired, vulnerable, and refugees.

Main Projects / Activities

Our approaches are based on multicultural activity dimension with a focus on:
 Promoting educational program for youth and enhancing inter-cultural exchanges
 Creating awareness of environment protection and energy efficiency
 Encouraging good governance and citizen participation
 Addressing the human rights concern of children, women, elderly, impaired, vulnerable, and refugees.
 Strengthening regional cooperation
Our other activities include enhancing intercultural intelligence, barriers to understanding cultural information, and building a culture of multiculturalism with deliberate programs on improving:
• Knowledge of the multidimensional and complex character of cultures as well as the ability to reflect the own cultural context
• understanding of how cultural differences shape individual perceptions, communication processes and courses of action
• Basic competences in intercultural communication
• The ability to reflect and analyze the behavior of one’s own and of strangers as well as to develop action alternatives
• An understanding of possible emotional dynamics during stays abroad and the ability to better cope with emerging issues
Our organizational experience is anchored on the strength of our membership composition as well as the strength of the NGO Network we are working within Europe. ISEDE focuses on developing teaching programs that enhance youth cooperation, life learning skills for adult migrants, encouraging citizen participation in governance, addressing the human rights concern of children, women, impaired, vulnerable, refugees, and elderly citizens. All our programs are targeted at those experiencing social exclusion and inequality. We believe that aside technological changes, the conception of learning for both educators and adults’ learners has changed from the individual learner and most times the educators have become learning facilitators, so it is imperative to fashion out programs to learn from adults and people of background who are experiencing social exclusion. ISEDE programs aim to highlight the need to redefine projects and programs in education for adult learning into four interdependent factors that are essential in quality VET teaching practice. They include project/program development, project/program planning, project/program delivery, project/program review, and educator’s continuous competence building, which takes accounts of the indicators that have affected the training activities. These indicators may range from; new target groups in VET, changing paradigms in educational theory, diversification of learning environments, and fast changes in education structures and priorities and the labor market.
Finally, ISEDE will pertain her focus on activating capacity building programs within and outside the European Union on the categories of Youth Exchange, Further Training Courses, and Vocational Educational Learning.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Project implemented Content is obviously important, but from ou experience, networking is equally important.With that in mind, building a strong network will be a priority for ISEDE after membership in the ALF Germany.
We will help with getting advice to ALF members from our successful team, giving more links to the member's sites, increasing best practices through social media sharing, opening up new partnership opportunities, helping to promote ALF programs, and so much more.

We have our project "New Trees for New Life" where we are planting a forest (reforestation), here is the link of the project page (https://www.facebook.com/newtreesfornewlife/) and this event is happening twice a year since 2017. Every year we plant 30.000 trees with the help of a big team of around 500 volunteers. This initiative collects every year around 700.000 euro from private sponsors. New Trees for New Life represents a project of social responsibility and social entrepreneurship which was created in order to increase awareness in the community about the importance of protecting the environment through reforestation. Our final objective is to plant a number of 120,000 trees on 17.59 ha.
In July 2018- October 2019 we were involved in a very big national project that was meant to create and develop a public policy about non-formal education. We wanted to give more power to the non-formal education by this law that we wrote together with a team of experts. (https://www.facebook.com/nonformalsepoate/) this was an intense initiative and project as we travelled all country to first discuss the needs of NGOs, Young people and relevant stakeholders in creating the law. After we had another round to present and promote the law written by the experts. Right now, the Law is at the Ministry of Education being studied by their team. As for the future, we are developing now a KA3 project where we will be holding a festival of elections and will simulate the suffrage process of the European parliament with students from all around Romania.

General Information

Libera is composed of more than 1600 associations, reunited under the same fight against mafias and for legality, justice and human rights ; Don Luigi Ciotti is the President of Libera, coworking with a Bureau and an Executive Board.
In 2018, Libera had at his disposal 4.557.425€, and spent 4.552.398. Libera is financed by private donations (46%) and by the numerous activities carried out (53%).
Libera’s action is built around five main actions : Memory and Commitment department, Education department, Confiscated assets department, International department and the Justice department. In each sector, Libera is in deep contact with actors at different levels, from a national to a local point of view : as an example, it has a seat as observer in the UN office on Drugs and Crime - ECOSOC Special Consultative Status.

Mission and Objectives

Libera was born in 1995 with a clear objective: fighting against any form of mafia, of violence and criminality. But more importantly, it is to strive for : for the search of truths, for transparent politics, for citizenship based on equality.
This is made in three points : focusing on a continuity of action, since the birth of Libera to nowadays ; secondly, by being a positive actor, meaning our goal is not merely to indisgnate ourselves, but to propose, explain, and try to change minds and opinions. Finally, Libera is pride to tackle social perceptions of mafia, sharing responsibility in a holistic approach.

Main Projects / Activities

Libera works around five poles, as mentioned above:
Memory and Commitment department : building an “alive” remembrance of innocent
victims of mafias, together with their families, to maintain a shared and responsible memory of all people who lost their life for criminal violence ;
More specifically, we created a multimedial archive that collects the memory of all of those innocent victims of the mafia ; plus, Libera is at the origin of the definition of a National Day For Memory, on March 21st.
Education department : Libera is invested in the realization of an educative path which would teach democratic legality, starting from the importance of the recognition of environmental and human rights;
In detail, the main actions are interventions in schools of all grades and in the universities ; moreover, the Summer Camps are a direct way to sensibilize the youth to Libera’s actions and objectives.
Confiscated assets department : the promotion of the public and social re-use of confiscated assets is one pillar of our daily action, supporting associations and social cooperatives which would like to manage a confiscated asset and raising awareness on the importance of giving a second life to thousands of different assets for social purposes;
International department : Libera is enforcing transnational strategies for human rights defense and promotion of social justice through the development of 3 international networks: ALAS - América Latina Alternativa Social in Central and South America; CHANCE - Civil Hub Against orgaNised Crime in Europe at European level and a new-born African network; Libera works with more than 80 organisations around the world to enhance international tools of human rights defense and to promote the exchange of good practices on integral ecology and social justice.
Justice department : the legal office of Libera is giving assistance of all families of innocent victims of mafias during trials and it manages also all civic action proceedings for Libera; finally Libera has developed a new action specifically against corruption, through the promotion of civic monitoring of public administrations and a dedicated telephone line for those who wants to denounce corruption crimes.
In this case, Libera is always willing to be a civil party in legal proceedings, and organizes anti-corruption activities, as well as cooperation with the Italian Ministry of Justice.
