OUR PARTNERS

He actively works with schools and universities, creating courses reserved for young people on social issues with the aim of raising their awareness of these issues by increasing their critical sense and reflection. The Foundation has collaborated with more than 60 schools across the country, from Lombardy, Lazio, Veneto to Tuscany.

Azione Solidale is a social cooperative that has been operating since 1993 in the western area of Milano to achieve effective social inclusion of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable, creating a concrete local community that helps young people, adults, people with disabilities and families to flourish and be protagonists, planning interventions and managing socio-educational services in collaboration with public services and other territorial organizations.

It manages the Crete Youth Aggregation Center which works on relationships, emotional bonds, closeness and solidarity to strengthen the participatory construction of responses, starting from the resources of young people, thus offering a "place to grow", an alternative to boredom and entry into circuits of crime and deviance, but above all an experience of responsibility and active citizenship.

Area Dance is a professional space for dancer training, located in Porto di Mare, zone 4. It was founded in 2007 from the desire of Giuseppe Galizia, dancer and performer, to promote dance in all its expressions, on the model of the most prestigious schools of international dance.

President Giuseppe Galizia, together with other teachers of the school, is part of the teaching staff of the Musical Academy Milano.
