Objective Description.

The international community recalls the importance of quality education and training to improve the living conditions of individuals, communities and societies. The goal is to promote the psycho-physical, cognitive, cultural, affective and social development of the child and to offer support to families in their educational task, always keeping the focus on the needs and individuality of the individual while creating a sense of community and belonging.

The child is not a passive subject; rather, he is able to actively construct his knowledge through exchange with the environment, both physical and relational. The data he gathers through experience are assimilated by his preexisting mental schemata, which in turn are modified to adapt to the new information received. Thus, it is not just a matter of gradually acquiring new skills: the child is active in interacting with the environment and building and transforming his or her own abilities. It is therefore the aim of the project to offer children in the communities afferent to the cooperatives, specific environments and contexts that can effectively promote their psycho-physical, cognitive, cultural, affective and social development and contribute to the acquisition of new skills and abilities that can help increase their capabilities.
