General Information
Lo Studio Legale Improda trova la propria cifra identificativa nell’assistenza alle Imprese, con servizi specialistici in ogni branca del diritto. Lo STUDIO ha iniziato la propria attività nel 1992 e oggi rappresenta, a livello nazionale e internazionale, una importante realtà nel mondo dei servizi legali. Lo STUDIO annovera nella propria clientela sia GRUPPI multinazionali, sia piccole e medie IMPRESE italiane ed estere. La peculiarità dello STUDIO risiede nel coniugare le capacità organizzative delle associazioni professionali di impronta internazionale con l'eccellenza della tradizione giuridica italiana. Lo STUDIO offre alle IMPRESE servizi di elevata qualità, con tempi di reazione particolarmente rapidi e con una forte personalizzazione nei rapporti professionali. I professionisti dello STUDIO approfondiscono ed alimentano il proprio know how mediante collaborazioni con enti universitari, associazioni di categoria ed organizzazioni culturali, sia italiane sia estere. L'organizzazione dello STUDIO si articola in Italia sulle cinque sedi di Roma, Milano, Torino, Treviso e Genova, nonchè su una ampia serie di collegamenti con prestigiosi studi legali collocati in ogni area della Penisola. A livello internazionale lo STUDIO vanta una capillare rete di collaborazioni, che consente ai suoi professionisti di assistere le IMPRESE con successo ovunque in Europa e nel Mondo. Lo Studio Legale Improda: una organizzazione ogni giorno al fianco delle imprese, con competenza e tempestività.
Mission and Objectives

Lo Studio rappresenta un'organizzazione specificamente dedicata all'assistenza alle imprese, per le quali intende rappresentare nel contempo un interlocutore attento, uno strumento operativo ed un affidabile compagno di viaggio.
Nel porsi quotidianamente a fianco delle imprese assistite, lo Studio svolge la sua attività attenendosi costantemente ad alcuni concetti chiave: QUALITA' del lavoro, VICINANZA al cliente, TEMPESTIVITA' delle risposte, DISCREZIONE del professionista.

Main Projects / Activities

La QUALITA' del lavoro rappresenta il concetto chiave dell'attività dei professionisti e la cifra di fondo dello Studio, l'aspetto più caratteristico e caratterizzante della sua vocazione all'eccellenza, nella convinzione che nella professione come nell'impresa i valori autentici siano il più prezioso dei patrimoni.
La VICINANZA al cliente rappresenta una peculiare attitudine dello Studio, che intende proporsi alle Imprese come interlocutore nel quotidiano, coinvolto nei grandi deal così come nella ordinaria attività di routine dell'azienda, con una capacità di ascolto costante, attenta, riservata e particolare.
La TEMPESTIVITA' delle risposte rappresenta una declinazione dei precedenti concetti di qualità del lavoro e di vicinanza alle imprese: l'eccellenza dei servizi resi ai clienti risulterebbe vana, se i tempi di reazione dello Studio non consentissero alle imprese di assumere per tempo le relative decisioni; la vicinanza al cliente porta i professionisti a comprendere e condividere la necessità delle imprese di ottenere una interlocuzione in tempi compatibili con la velocità dei processi decisionali nell'economia moderna.
La DISCREZIONE del professionista, anche se oggi può apparire un concetto desueto, rappresenta un principio cardine nella millenaria tradizione della nostra professione: il ruolo dell'Avvocato che assiste le imprese non è sul palcoscenico, ma al fianco dei propri clienti, che sono coloro che devono riempire la scena; la missione dello Studio è quella di aiutarli a farlo con sempre maggiore successo.

Vardagens civilkurage is a youth organization that promotes active citizenship, democracy and equality. The purpose of the association is, through practical training, to promote skills and knowledge of civil courage for children and youths. Through our method children and youths learn to intervene in different life situations characterized by oppression, inequality, exclusionary norms, abuse of power, discrimination, injustice and violence.

Main Projects / Activities

The main activity within the organisation is our practical civil courage training, which we call a Dojo. By using a roleplay method we stage a situation where we see injustice or oppression of any kind. By doing this we create the opportunity to concrete and practical try out different techniques in order to make the situation more democratic or just.
Each training would focus on a different themes, such as racism, sexism or maybe different kinds of suppression techniques(härskartekniker). All of these oppression do exist in differents places, it could be on the street but also around the family dinner. We believe that civil courage training is something everyone could and also should take part in and therefor that is our main activity within the organisation.

General Information
La congregazione venne fondata da Giovanni Bosco (1815-1888): secondo dei figli di Francesco e Margherita Occhiena, modesti agricoltori, perse giovanissimo il padre e, all'età di sedici anni, iniziò a studiare a Chieri per diventare sacerdote. Venne ordinato prete il 6 luglio 1841 dall'arcivescovo di Torino Luigi Fransoni e per i tre anni successivi soggiornò nel capoluogo piemontese dove perfezionò la sua formazione teologica presso il Collegio ecclesiastico. Grazie all'amicizia con don Giuseppe Cafasso, suo conterraneo, don Bosco conobbe la drammatica realtà delle carceri giovanili. In quegli anni Torino stava conoscendo un periodo di rapida industrializzazione e molti giovani si trasferivano dalle aree rurali in città per cercare lavoro: l'8 dicembre 1841 diede inizio alla sua opera educativa in favore dei giovani iniziando a insegnare il catechismo a un apprendista muratore presso la chiesa di San Francesco. I ragazzi da lui seguiti divennero presto quasi duecento. Inizialmente la marchesa di Barolo mise a disposizione di don Bosco e dei sacerdoti che collaboravano con lui dei locali presso il suo "Rifugio", una casa di accoglienza per ragazze "pericolanti" e "traviate": il 12 aprile 1846 l'opera trovò una sede stabile nella tettoia messa a disposizione da Francesco Pinardi a Valdocco. La tettoia divenne anche un centro per l'assistenza ai senzatetto e per i servizi domestici don Bosco fece giungere da Chieri sua madre, che collaborò all'opera del figlio fino alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 1857. Don Bosco dedicò il suo oratorio a san Francesco di Sales, in onore del quale il 20 giugno 1852 venne eretta la prima chiesa della compagnia: il vescovo di Ginevra venne scelto come patrono dell'opera sia perché era uno dei santi più venerati del Piemonte, sia perché incarnava i principi di amorevolezza, ottimismo e umanesimo cristiano che erano fondamento del sistema pedagogico di don Bosco. Per assicurare una buona formazione e la possibilità di trovare un lavoro ai suoi giovani, don Bosco eresse laboratori per apprendisti, una scuola serale, un ginnasio e una tipografia.
Mission and Objectives

Secondo la versione delle costituzioni del 1984 (art. 2), lo scopo dei salesiani è quello di "essere nella Chiesa segni e portatori dell'amore di Dio ai giovani, specie ai più poveri".
I salesiani svolgono tale missione attraverso oratori, scuole, collegi, centri per la formazione professionale e agraria; gestiscono inoltre centri di orientamento vocazionale e case di spiritualità. Benché le costituzioni della Società sin dal 1923 proibiscano ai salesiani di accettare, in via ordinaria, la cura delle parrocchie, sono numerose quelle curate e amministrate da religiosi della congregazione.
A Roma ha sede la Pontificia Università Salesiana, comprendente le facoltà di diritto canonico, filosofia e teologia. L'ateneo venne fondato a Torino nel 1940 e venne trasferito a Roma nel 1960: venne elevato a università da papa Paolo VI con il motu proprio "Magisterium Vitae" del 24 maggio 1973.
Anche le comunicazioni sociali sono un'area di peculiare intervento per i salesiani: gestiscono case editrici come la SEI di Torino, l'Elledici di Leumann, la LAS di Roma e altre in Spagna, Stati Uniti d'America, India, Europa orientale e Sud America.
Le missioni salesiane sono impiantate nell'America del Sud, in Medio Oriente, nell'estremo Oriente e in Africa, dove sono presenti in una trentina di stati.

INCIDE es una organización sin ánimo de lucro y no confesional, cuyo objetivo primordial es conseguir que la Inclusión, la Ciudadanía, la Diversidad y la Educación sean instrumentos para el desarrollo de la ciudadanía, en el seno de una sociedad basada en la tolerancia, la democracia y la solidaridad.
Nuestra Misión es conseguir el desarrollo pleno de la ciudadanía, promoviendo una educación plural, democrática y laica y defendiendo los valores basados en los principios de libertad, justicia, igualdad, solidaridad social y tolerancia, posibilitando así que las personas puedan, en cualquier etapa de su vida, integrarse en la sociedad como sujetos con derechos y obligaciones

Main Projects / Activities

Las cuatro líneas de actuación de la entidad llevan a desarrollar diversas actuaciones financiadas por entidades públicas o privadas:
1.- Educación:  Gestionamos cuatro Escuelas Infantiles (CEI Casita I, CEI Casita II, CEI Elvira Lindo, CEI Villa de Guaro); igualmente, como participantes del Plan de Familias de la Junta de Andalucía, desarrollamos actividades de Aula Matinal, Actividades Extraescolares, Apoyo Lingüístico, Escuelas Deportivas y Apoyo al Estudio en 92 centros educativos de la provincia de Málaga.  Dentro de las actividades propias del Programa CaixaProinfancia, red de la cual hemos sido entidad gestora desde su implantación en la capital, trabajamos también con refuerzo educativo, escuelas de verano en otros 40 centros educativos.  Este programa nos permite también favorecer la igualdad en el acceso a los estudios de menores a través de servicios de logopedia, atención psicológica y social a más de 900 familias.
2.- Igualdad: desarrollamos una importante labor de lucha por la igualdad efectiva entre hombres y mujeres en todos los ámbitos, siendo referentes en distintos foros, espacios de reflexión y de participación en planes de igualdad.  Llevamos a cabo una gran labor de formación a centros educativos, centros de adultos, personal técnico de entidades sociales en materia de género, prevención de la violencia machista y/o coeducación.  Gestionamos un programa innovador en la atención a mujeres víctimas de violencia de género “Agentes de Acompañamiento y Formación para la Autonomía”, que denominamos Cuenta Conmigo y que ha sido galardonado con el Premio a la Innovación Social 2016 de Fundación la Caixa.  Ese programa es el que presentamos a este Premio y cuyos detalles se leerá en los puntos siguientes.
3.- Integración Laboral: En esta línea de actuación desarrollamos los programas dirigidos a favorecer la mejora de la empleabilidad de personas en situación de vulnerabilidad y/o riesgo de exclusión.  Así, programas tales como Andalucía Orienta, SURGE, Apoyo a la Inserción o los Centros de Acceso Público a Internet, financiados por la Junta de Andalucía, nos permiten mejorar la formación, las herramientas y recursos para la búsqueda de empleo, así como las habilidades sociales de dichas personas.  La importancia de la formación y la cualificación o recualificación nos lleva a continuar apostando por los cursos de hostelería y el desarrollo de prácticas en empresas, con una importante labor de prospección del mercado laboral y de sensibilización del tejido empresarial hacia esta población.
4.- Inclusión Social: nuestra presencia en barriadas consideradas como zonas con necesidades de transformación social nos lleva a plantear iniciativas innovadoras en materia de atención a jóvenes, dinamización comunitaria, asesoramiento jurídico a minorías, formación y sensibilización en materia de interculturalidad.  Así, programas tales como Educadores de Calle, el Centro de Asesoramiento a Minorías, Cultura en la Calle o Disfruta y Convive, nos permiten acercarnos a la realidad de las familias y las personas que conviven en estos espacios, mejorando las relaciones vecinales y familiares, fomentando la mediación, la mejora de la capacitación, la ruptura de barreras culturales e intergeneracionales.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Desarrollamos una amplia labor en las diferentes áreas de actuación, con programas específicos que pueden aportar experiencia, conocimiento sobre diversos grupos de personas y territorios en materias de igualdad, inclusión, diversidad, educación, etc.  Queremos participar en espacios de reflexión y debate para la mejora de las herramientas, los recursos y el conocimiento, por lo que entendemos que la Red puede favorecer este encuentro.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nos parece que el trabajo que desarrolla la Red es muy importante de cara a generar espacios de encuentro y convivencia entre culturas.  El aprendizaje de nuevas ideas, nuevos puntos de vista, el intercambio de experiencias y sobre todo contribuir a mantener un espacio de diálogo, son una prioridad para nuestra entidad.
