Mission and Objectives

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a key document in all our local and international activities for disseminating knowledge of children's rights among minors, young people and adults. The core objective pursued by Arciragazzi is the social inclusion by shaping access to resources and opportunities for all young people (14/30 aged) including youth with few opportunities, minors in care system, youth with migrant background, LGBT young people.
From 2011,due to the constant and deep cooperation with Shannara Social Cooperative dealing with minors at risk, unaccompanied foreign minors and trafficked girls, we started working in deep on topics related to migration and intercultural dialogue by keeping always an eye to the route of youth immigration with a geopolitical approach - first with partners from Balkans and Oriental neighbouring Countries and then with Euro-Mediterranean countries and Africa - for promoting HRE by empowering and enhancing youth social inclusion path. The know-how acquired in the design activities and projects within the Euro-Mediterranean framework allowed us to go through different topics and to encourage young people to be the protagonist and motivate them to be agents of social change. Arciragazzi has developed good practice in the promotion of a cohesive society, allowing to broaden knowledge, providing opportunities for minors and young people (autochtones and migrants) to gain experience outside the local context; to allow adults professional updating dealing with youth; building strategic partnerships for the implementation and study of good practices of interventions in the migration area, in particular unaccompanied foreign minors and young migrants, and the services necessary to achieve a good reception to the local context of the newly. Then, this spectrum of actions has allowed us to build a specific identity at National level (Arciragazzi counts about 50 youth centres located in different Italian region/cities)and from different private and public bodies.
"Our Gold" Youth Exchange has been selected as "best practice" for the BpE (Becoming a part of Europe) by the Italian ANG for international activities with impact on young migrants, asylum seekers and refugees inside the local community, using the principles and approaches of non-formal learning and representing youth work experiences and practices as a tool for social inclusion.
Arciragazzi Portici is the territorial antenna for No Hate Speech Network, it's a member at ENAR (European anti-racism network) and it's a representative at Municipality of Portici for the Equal Opportunities Territorial Commission.

Main Projects / Activities

2019.28 March/still ongoing: “Le Rotte del Gusto” (The Route of Taste)
The project focuses on the achievement of Unaccompanied Foreign minors’ autonomy through the integrated temporary guardianship. relational and social inclusion processes will give these young people the tools to play a more and more active role in the host community, enabling them to enter the labor market and live an autonomous life. Arciragazzi follows the inclusion path and the activities related to the communication for facilitating their integration

2020, 11 January: “Immigration and reception: Orientation & Gender Identity”(Portici, Napoli)

The aim was to make visible the LGBT immigrants and LGBT inmates to show the lack of integration policy at National, European and worldwide level.

Arciragazzi, in June, started to promote the Festival through its National and International network and a youth group of 8 people with different background, took place as jury along with other young people of different NGOs to evaluate the short movies participating to the call.
2019, 25 November: International Day for the eradication of violence against women The day was characterized by two meetings. The first meeting was that of with a group of young people from different countries who discussed about the analysis of the words hurting them when comes to discrimination, gender equality and gender-based violence.
The second one was structured within a simulation activity scheduled for the XI HUMAN RIGHTS FESTIVAL IN NAPLES - YOUTH session. The vision of three videos gave us the opportunity to "read" the hidden messages and of which we are the bearers (sometimes involuntarily) on discrimination, gender inequality and gender violence.
2019, 15 Novembre-15 June 2020: ESC – European Solidarity Corps: CROSSING VIEW IV
Coordinator; ESPLAIS CATALAN
«Crossing views» is based on the values of mutual learning and on the idea that we are more creative and innovative in intercultural environments. In this sens, this project will give intercultural learning opportunities to volunteers so they can improve their work as youth workers but it will also focus on the learning benefits that the hosting organisation can get of this cooperation.
Countries: Spain, Italy.
2019, 23/29 September: Engagement of Women in Politics and Entrepreneurship (Beirut, Lebanon)
Organized by Italian National Agency of Erasmus + Youth in cooperation with SALTO-YOUTH EuroMed, French National Agency of Erasmus +, UK National Agency and GIZ Lebanon (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH) and local NGOs and Institutions
The meaningful participation of women in national, local, and community leadership roles has become an important focus on global development policy. Still, some may ask why it matters if women become political leaders, elected policymakers, or civil society activists. Why does the world need more women involved in all aspects of the political process? Women's political participation results in tangible gains for democracy, including greater responsiveness to citizen needs, increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines, and a more sustainable future.
Countries: Youth in Action Programme countries, Southern Mediterranean countries
2019,4 May: L’OTTO MARZO SEMPRE

2018, September to 2020 February: KA2 - UpGrad_ME
Project funded by the European Commission Erasmus + Directorate of General Education and Culture
UpGrad_Me is a project whose aim was to develop contents capable to enhance migrant youth employability by building their capacity. The motto “self-branding through a Video CV using your mobile phone" was the acknowledgement by the partners involved of the fact that migrant youths at risk of social exclusion and poverty do not possess a computer, but have all a smart phone, whose potentials are ignored for low awareness in digital literacy. So, included in the learning outcome of the training is the capacity to harness the power of their mobile phone, an element which was also one of the objectives of the project.
Countries: Malta, Italy, Spain

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our association is ran by autochtones and young people with different background, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation and identity.
We can put at disposal our know how especially for the intercultural competences and partecipative youth process.
Then the contribution can be "translated" in new local projects so to get large our ray of action and to be more effective at local level.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

It's a great opportunity for my association and for my community to have new resources not only in term of founds but also in terms of new partners join ALF Network for implement and sharing best practice, to exchange competences, skills and experiences.
Then some NGOs, already ALF members, suggested us to be in this network because of great opportunity to go in deep on long terms activities more than other founds.

Glocal Factory elaborates and implements projects of action/research in the social and educational fields. For this, it collaborates with a large network of European universities, NGOs, CSOs, schools'networks and school authorities.

Mission and Objectives

“Glocal Factory” – social Co-operative was born on January 8th, 2018, as a natural evolution of the Association having the same name, founded in 2015 by a group of experts and volunteers – with different age and studies’ background - engaged in European projects in the social and educational fields. Some of its members can boast an experience of many decades in laying out and implementing EU funded projects.
Both the Association and the Co-operative focus their attention on:
- Innovation of contents and methods in formal, non- formal and informal learning for children, adolescents and adults;
- School, work and social inclusion of disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups;
- Fight against racism and xenophobia;
- Opposition to the violence against women and children;
- Well-being of young people, quality of youth work;
- Experimentation of new forms of Communitarian and Generative Welfare;
- Promotion of “social economy” and sustainable development.
On these topics the “system Glocal Factory” (Association and Co-operative):
• Realizes international training for teachers, trainers, adult educators and youth workers. At the moment our catalogue include training weeks on: Post – Millennials discomfort; innovative didactic methodologies (notably “Flipped Classroom”); adult education for emarginated people; coaching and “emotional intelligence” in teaching; education to self-entrepreneurship.
• Promotes European projects, working with a wide network of Italian and European public institutions, universities, associations and NGOs. In 2018 Glocal Factory is partner of 4 action / research projects funded by the EU programme “Erasmus Plus”:
o MiGreat! – creation of new tools for refugees and migrants ECVET (Continous Vocational Education and Training) and APL(Acknowledgement of Previous Learning) – www.mi-great.eu

• Organizes events and seminars, in co-operation with prestigious research centers, like the conference – webinar held on January 18th, 2018 in Verona, Latina, Athens and Thessaloniky on the theme “Contamin-A(c)tion in Europe”, to reflect in a critical and multi-disciplinary way on the European identity, its roots and its possible development.

Furthermore, some members of the Co-Operative are personally engaged in the implementation of other projects funded by Erasmus Plus and concerning the topic of fight against Early School Leaving, and by the AMIF programme to promote resettlement and inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers.

Because we believe that the social and economic problems of the Mediterranean countries, in the next decade, can be solved only thanks to a close cooperation between states, local authorities and NGOs of the different countries. We would like to make our small contribution to the commitment to the protection of human rights, the reduction of military spending, the development of social and green entrepreneurship, the employability of young people, the management of migration flows useful for all countries in the area, and for intercultural and interreligious dialogue.

The Association was founded under the impulse of Helena Vaz de Silva, at the time president of the Centro Nacional de Cultura, and since its constitution, AYMP has its headquarter at the CNC. The other main partners involved in the AYMP's projects/activities, in addition to the Portuguese education ministry, have been the Schools (Agrupamentos de Escolas) and the Municipalities of the different cities where MUS-E Portugal has been developed: Évora, Leiria, Lisbon, Matosinhos, Porto, Odemira, Oeiras and Vila Nova de Gaia.
In addition to the quotas of individual, collective and benefactors’ associates of AYMP, the Association was financed by the Ministry of Education and has been financed by the municipalities in which the MUS-E project/ program is present. Also has received the sponsorship of several institutions.

Mission and Objectives

The Association Yehudi Menuhin Portugal (AYMP) aims to pursue objectives of artistic character, formatives and of social integration, promoting the arts as a means of preventing violence, development of tolerance and sense of citizenship, according to the ideals of Yehudi Menuhin and the principles of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation.
AYMP promotes, among other activities, the MUS-E Portugal.

Main Projects / Activities

The main project / program of AYMP is MUS-E. The MUS-E initiative was created by Yehudi Menuhin in 1993, together with Werner Schmitt, IYMF Vice-President, and Marianne Poncelet, IYMF Executive Vice-President. It is based on a concept of music education developed by the Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist and teacher Zoltan Kodály (1882 - 1967). Kodály believed that music should be part and parcel of daily education and accessible to all. Yehudi Menuhin broadened Kodály’s concept to incorporate all creative arts spanning all cultures. Since 1993, MUS-E Associations in various countries have built up a wealth of experience in implementing the use of creative arts in traditional primary school curriculums, working particularly with children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
In its present form, the program MUS-E is targeted at primary schools, mainly in Europe, which are facing the challenge of educating a growing multicultural group of children, many of whom come from migrant or disadvantaged families and are at risk of social exclusion or other societal problems. In the presence of classroom teachers, professional artists actively engaged in MUS-E introduce and share various forms of art (singing, dance, music, movement, drama, visual and multimedia arts,...).
Thanks to this collective work, the MUS-E programme encourages dialogue and togetherness, while awakening children’s sense of creativity, empathy and resilience.
Three fields of activity are interconnected in the MUS-E programme:
- Artistic
Art is all too often given minimum attention in the school curriculum, but it is a powerful tool to awaken and stimulate children’s curiosity for learning.
The MUS-E programme is a meaningful, effective and unique addition to existing music and art classes offered by schools.
- Pedagogical
MUS-E’s artistic approach to school education helps children to enjoy school as a place to learn and socialize. lt also helps teachers to discover an additional teaching strategy focussed on every child’s needs, abilities, leveI of development and cultural background. MUS-E activities are based on the premise that children have their own way of processing knowledge and culture, 50 that if schools are able to leverage this, they become key social agents. The partnership between teachers and visiting artists enables the teacher’s function of helping children in their quest for knowledge, overcoming the idea that the teacher is the only gatekeeper of knowledge. Moreover, teachers can use the MUS-E experience and practice to support teaching other subjects on the school curriculum.
- Social
The schools benefitting from the MUS-E programme are mainly located in lower income districts with few cultural stimuli and /or high concentration of diverse backgrounds. By triggering children’s creativity, their capacity for resilience to adverse social circumstances is strengthened. MUSE optimizes the creative resources of the children and families, and the wealth of their cultural diversity.

Over the years, MUS-E Portugal has been recognized as a Cultural Interest Project by the Ministry of Culture / Portuguese Secretary of State for Culture.
