Founded in 2004, Giosef Torino - Marti Gianello Guida APS is an association of social promotion.

Our work is based on our certainty that new educational paradigms are needed in order to promote social cohesion among Euromediterranean societies, and we deeply believe young people can be the strength to overcome barriers to foreseen social justice; we completely agree with the key concept in Audre Lorde’s work: “there is no such thing as single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives”.

YOUTH WORK AND NONFORMAL EDUCATION: to produce social change through NonFormal Education on Human Rights;
INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH: to promote an anti-sexist, anti-racist culture all forms of discrimination through an intersectional perspective;
