The beginning of the journey
Founded in April 1998, Giovani Senza Frontiere APS was created to promote active European citizenship and youth mobility through youth work, activism, and volunteering.
We promote the active participation of young people in social life thought Non-Formal Education.
Giving a voice to young generations to build inclusive communities and foster a positive change
Across Italy
If young people organize, take control of every branch of knowledge and fight alongside workers and the oppressed, there is no escape for an old order built on privilege and injustice.

The beginning of the journey
Founded in April 1998, Giovani Senza Frontiere APS was created to promote active European citizenship and youth mobility through youth work, activism, and volunteering.
A network of people and associations
Through a national network of 12 organizations across Italy and established collaborations in the Euro-Mediterranean region, we work at both national and international levels to provide young people with valuable opportunities and skills.
Skills and experience in the youth sector
Youth mobility, social inclusion, civic participation, non-formal education, and youth work. Our projects provide opportunities for growth, training, and networking for young people.
National and International Cooperations
Collaborations based on shared values of solidarity, interculturality, and intersectionality. We have established strong international partnerships with which we are shaping a future without borders.
Breaking down barriers and building a future where everyone has the right to choose their own identity and community.
Mobility is a right that expands opportunities, breaking down both physical and mental boundaries.
Young people are the driving force of change, supporting them in their growth is our goal.
We want a world where every person has the right to move, to be themselves, and to express themselves in total freedom.
If you also believe in the power of change, we are ready to build new collaborations.
