DECEMBER 2017

With around 60 projects received, the choice wasn’t easy. It helped to bare in mind the aims of “Insieme”, its very original intent: “ to contribute to improve the living conditions of families in difficulty, strengthening social ties and encouraging participation among individuals, including through the involvement of disadvantaged groups […].
Furthermore: “This Foundation believes that the quality of the answer to the needs (latent or manifest) can be more effective in welcoming and responsible communities, where each person is bearer of needs and at the same time of resources , and that right on the latter is necessary to leverage.”
