WHO WE ARE

VdT ngo, founded in 2006, is a combination of many different skills and professions in the fields of education, training and international cooperation. The work group first met in 2003, thanks to their experience in the Palestinian refugee camps. VdT promotes a horizontal cooperation model. The main principles which guide its action are: the importance of valuing differences, involvement of local communities, and reciprocity. It also promotes education for multiculturalism and peace in Italy and abroad. It works with networking and participatory project design by actively involving all its partners, target groups and the community at large. VdT's projects are based on the creation of active, broad-based local networks, both in Italy and abroad. Humanitarian associations, schools, universities social and education-oriented agencies, religious communities, and local administrations are especially involved. Participants are given the opportunity to become actors in the process, and come together and share by exchanging experiences and methodologies.
