The aim of the association is to import in Europe and in the Mediterranean area the “Ludopedagogy”, a non formal education methodology which did develop to fight against Latin America dictatorships summing the strategic element of "playing" to the experience of Freire's Popular Education to advocate and promote a society based on the respect of human dignity and freedom, building awareness for Human Rights and the capacity to work for a human scale development, that is sustainable and based on participation. This method facilitates the educational work, by involving the participants and encourages the opening towards a different attitude, different from the usual one, stimulates the curiosity and the necessity to recognize the different, the “other”. The “game” manages to develop the willing to get in to it, to actively participate, to risk, to discover yourself and the world around you, to discover the power to build another possible and necessary world.

ince 2005 the association "Barbe della Gioconda" is working to promote Ludopedagogy, a non formal education and participative method used as a tool to strength the participation and the change of unequal power relationships. It has been imported from Latin America in Italy, with great success. It has been developed to fight against Latin America dictatorships, summing the strategic element of "playing" to the experience of Freire's Popular Education. Through “the game” this method facilitates the educational work, by involving the participants and encouraging the opening towards a different attitude from the usual one. Moreover, it stimulates the curiosity and the necessity to recognize the “other”, to develop the willing to actively participate and to risk. The method of Ludopedagogy allows people to recognize the value of emotions, body and affectivity to better understand ourselves, the relationships and the reality.
Based on the potentialities of playing as a metaphor and vehicle of knowledge, this educative method sums the individual and the collective experience, opening the possibilities to try and to develop different and unusual solutions to social issues in a protected space - the playing space.

The mission is to recall the ancient cultural meetings of Christina, the Queen of Sweden, named "Ragunanze". The main objectives is to create a safe environnement for contemporary artists and writers, where they can share their thoughts and feelings in a respectful manner.

Legambiente have as slogan “think globally, act locally” because we felt the need of creating a strong rootedness to the territory and to the country, while rousing awareness that environmental issues could only be considered in their global implications. By attending to all the important international problems , i Legambiente has confronted itself with different cultures and realities, all of them open to discussing and working on important themes as justice, human rights, environment and poverty, and to face them by proposing alternatives to the current globalization models based exclusively on profit and economic power.
