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 younger generations in social life through non-formal methodologies.
We give voice to the younger generations. To build inclusive communities and SPARK 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.
Founded in April 1998, Giovani senza Frontiere APS was created to promote active European citizenship and youth mobility through youth work, activism, and volunteering.
Through a national network of 16 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.
Youth mobility, social inclusion, civic participation, non-formal education, and youth work.
Our projects offer growth, training, and networking opportunities for young people.
Collaborations based on shared values of solidarity, interculturality, and intersectionality. We have established international partnerships with which we design 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 amplifies possibilities, breaking down all boundaries, both physical and mental.
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.
