The project takes inspiration from the experience of social and educative work of Danilo Dolci and his collaborators, started in Western Sicily since 1952. The volunteers operate in the historical center of the town, where there are many social, economic and cultural problems. In this context our organisation has created, in cooperation with other cultural no profit associations, a place of meeting and growing up, where youth can meet to develop different kind of social and cultural projects.
