Le aree di riferimento principali delle attività di ricerca e analisi del Center for Near Abroad Strategic Studies. Il Mediterraneo Orientale; la Mitteleuropa e l'Europa Sud Orientale e Balcanica; l'area del Mar Rosso e del sistema fluviale del Nilo e la Penisola Arabica; il Corno d'Africa. L'insieme di questi quattro quadranti costituisce un'area geopolitica di interesse per la politica estera e di sicurezza dell'Unione Europea e rappresenta la direttrice Sud Orientale del suo Estero Vicino.

Allo scopo di espletare le mansioni suddette la Fondazione istituirà un Centro Studi, organizzato in settori o gruppi di lavoro divisi per aree tematiche, che costituisca una biblioteca e un archivio e promuova e organizzi convegni, corsi, seminari, borse di studio e ogni altra attività idonea al perseguimento degli scopi istituzionali.

L'associazione si fa portavoce libera delle persone, degli artisti e degli intellettuali che interpretano grazie ai mezzi più inaspettati e diversi, il rapporto di Napoli con il mondo contemporaneo e la sua storia.
Le persone impegnate in questa impresa lavorano ad un progetto singolare alla scoperta dei movimenti culturali emergenti attraverso musica, mostre, eventi, proiezioni, incontri, conferenze, pubblicazioni.

The common thread which connects all of our developed and implemented activities and projects, and which is also our mission, is the support and special concern we have for women and their world, therefore everything that involves them:  rights, work, training, motherhood, children, schools, nurseries, family, business and management, entrepreneurship, art, culture, domestic management, marriage, domestic violence, sexual harassment, equal rights, fashion, cooking, cleaning, gardening and money management.
The experience that Arcus wants to bring in the project is related to the participation at the European project called “4WOMEN”.
This project is carried out by a Liyakat Association - project leader from Turkey - with three Turkish partners Konak Municipality, Dokuz Eylul University Graduate School of Social Science - the Department of European Union Studies and two Italian partners ARCUS Association and WORK IN PROGRESS.  The Municipality of Polpenazze also took part to some activities, without budget.
4WOMEN originates from the need to disclose the problem of violence against women in Turkey and in Italy in terms of its prevalence, incidence, rate and nature. This is an important topic that still needs further investigation. Women rarely disclose what has happened to them and even more rarely report to the police or seek help in the crisis centers or other social services. Both, citizens at individual level and organized Civil Society at political and general level, should ensure that society implements the necessary changes. The role of Civil Society is crucial in this respect, offering the opportunity to better meet the needs of the involved regions by providing support to Civil Society development and dialogue. 4WOMEN focuses on the areas of intervention of capacity building to fight VAW, leading to a transfer of knowledge and the set-up of a new trans-national network, supporting socio-economic CSOs playing the crucial role in the uptake, implementation and monitoring of the socio-economic acquits.
4WOMEN is foreseen as a tool to support social services to contrast VAW and improve their social inclusion. This phenomenon is recognized and considered by international organizations such as the UN and the EU as violence in general and it represents one of the most common violations of human rights; as a matter of fact it threatens the individual freedom and psycho-physical integrity of women and it is a worldwide spread problem, not yet properly acknowledged and reported.  Arcus is now also involved in the project 4WOMEN2 which addresses training needs for social workers dealing with women victims of violence.

The Municipality of Polpenazze is very experienced in youth work as far as environmental and nutrition activities are concerned as we are are carrying out a KA1 project about the importance of healthy nutrition and diet, Better Food for Better Life.  Therefore AgriLab is the the follow up of Better Food for Better Life, to widen the path and create a bigger community for a larger dissemination and involvement of stakeholders on different levels. The Municipality is also very much involved in the issue of sustainable agriculture. Every year, during the last weekend of July, Polpenazze celebrates the BIOFESTA, an event to celebrate and disseminate bio-agricolture and and bio-food as well as sustainable agriculture.  Also, every year in mid-August Polpenazze celebrates youth with the youth day.
Further on, Polpenazze has been engaged for a long time in actions to promote the protection of women against violence, by raising awareness of citizens, in particularly young people.
On the occasion of November 25th, International Day for the fight of Violence Against Women, every year the city administration of Polpenazze promotes and disseminates initiatives of reflection directed to combat gender violence, in collaboration with the local women's associations and the Province of Brescia.
Last year, in the occasion of the International Day against Violence against women, the municipality of Polpenazze del Garda in collaboration with the Union of Municipalities of Valtennesi and the Office of the Provincial Councilor for Equality invited citizens and schools to the showing of the video documentary "Talk to him," the Director Elizabeth France, which was held on November 25th, 2014 at 20.30 at the Multipurpose Hall (c / or schools).
The initiative received excellent feedback which saw the participation of schools and citizens during those moments of reflection.
The town of Polpenazze joined the National Campaign "Busy place" launched at regional level by the Councilor for Equality and during the evening, a chair was symbolically reserved the image of "Busy place" in memory of the women victims of gender violence.
In the management of this area of intervention the municipality of Polpenazze works through the synergy and integration of most professions, most operators and employees; this integrates with performance and education, health and psychological, as well as activities of the areas for training policies and work. The service works with various public and private institutions and organizations of the third sector in the context of subsidiarity. This network of expertise will be made available for the project AgriLab in order to ensure the best possible results.  The municipality of Polpenazze is also involved as affiliated partner  (no budget) in two previous projects 4WOMEN and 4WOMEN2 which developed a trans-national network for the fight of VAW more on a policy level, business training for women victims of violence to help them re-integrate in the society and training for social workers specifically working with women victims of violence.
To promote greater opportunities for young people in the area (both the young residents in the municipality of Polpenazze and young people throughout the Valtennesi) the City of Polpenazze joined in January 2015 the National Eurodesk network, hosting an internal service of Antenna Territorial Eurodesks (ATE).
