Vision
Promoting equal opportunities, contributing to inclusion and social cohesion.

Mission
Our social enterprise aims to contribute to the well-being and development of an inclusive community through the implementation of social, educational, and psychological interventions and services.

Areas of Intervention

Social Inclusion
We develop and implement initiatives for individuals in socially vulnerable conditions such as migrants, asylum seekers and holders of international protection, homeless people, and Roma citizens. We provide reception services, socio-legal assistance, job orientation, counseling and psychological support, Italian language courses and vocational training, linguistic-cultural mediation, social mediation in housing contexts, and support for entrepreneurship.

Children and Families
We offer services supporting childhood, adolescence, and families through the management of educational and care spaces, parenting support activities, play-based educational workshops, counseling desks, and initiatives to combat school dropout and educational poverty. We also provide psychological support and supervision services for working groups and professionals operating in the social-educational sector.

Housing and Reception
We offer housing support and solutions to individuals in vulnerable situations, regardless of their origin. Our services are aimed at migrants, refugees, unaccompanied foreign minors, women in difficulty, and homeless individuals. Through scattered reception projects, housing consultancy, and personalized support, we ensure safe and dignified spaces, promoting paths toward autonomy and integration into local communities.

International Projects and Research
We promote and participate in European and national projects aimed at developing and sharing innovative strategies and tools in the following areas: social inclusion of people in vulnerable situations (migrants and refugees, children and youth, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, etc.), combating discrimination, gender issues, human rights and global citizenship, and training and capacity building for professionals in the social and educational fields.
We also carry out national and international social research on topics related to migration and new forms of poverty.

Consulting and Capacity Building
We provide technical support and consultancy to other organizations, fostering the adoption of best practices and the implementation, realization, and reporting of social and innovative projects. Our services also include linguistic-cultural mediation, essential to removing communication barriers and promoting inclusion. At the same time, we develop training courses for Third Sector professionals and targeted supervision programs for both professionals and direct beneficiaries, aiming to strengthen operational and strategic skills.

The practices of Programma integra

The fight against sexual exploitation and abuse and the protection of minors also begins with safeguarding the work environment that every day comes into contact with people at risk of abuse. From this principle stems our desire to implement two new practices through the provision of specific training and awareness-raising actions aimed at increasing responsibility and awareness on the part of staff and all those involved in project activities and services aimed at its beneficiaries.
