About us<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are groups of people based in Calabria who put into practice models of solidarity-based living and welcoming communities.<\/p>\n

Since 1976, our mission has been to promote human, civil, political, and social rights. We develop cultural and social policies and initiatives rooted in\u2014and created alongside\u2014the communities of the South.<\/p>\n

Comunit\u00e0 Progetto Sud is an association founded in 1976 in Lamezia Terme. Guided by the priceless value of human dignity and the sanctity of every individual, as well as the principle of social solidarity, we champion human, civil, political, and social rights. Being based and active in Calabria\u2014while maintaining a perspective focused on the Global South\u2014is central to our history and our unique identity.<\/p>\n

We strive to ensure that every individual can exercise their rights, build their autonomy, and play an active role in shaping the common good, recognizing everyone’s capacity to contribute and take responsibility.<\/p>\n

Through welcoming initiatives, social services of general interest (including health and education), training, employment, culture, and civic participation, we develop social and cultural policies and interventions rooted in\u2014and created alongside\u2014the communities of the South.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Mission<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Born as a shared living experience, Comunit\u00e0 Progetto Sud is today a \u201cgroup of groups\u201d; it develops and disseminates inclusive policies and other forms of collective solidarity to enhance the value of Calabria and the \u201cSouths.\u201d<\/p>\n

We stand alongside the most vulnerable through local care and outreach services, create opportunities for dignified work, and build pathways to autonomy with individuals and groups.<\/p>\n

We promote inclusion and active citizenship, while fostering a culture of peace and non-violence. We develop volunteering and social entrepreneurship initiatives, actively opposing injustice as well as Mafia-style and clientelist practices.<\/p>\n

We generate participatory democracy processes through innovative policies, provide health, social, and educational services, and promote cultures and practices centered on integral ecology.<\/p>\n

We collaborate with local communities, institutions, and Italian and international social and business organizations through initiatives rooted in an ethical and sustainable economy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Vision<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We aim to contribute to a world of supportive and inclusive communities, where people\u2014especially the most vulnerable\u2014play a leading role in building the common good.<\/p>\n

We believe the common good is realized through the meeting of diverse perspectives, mutual listening, and shared responsibility. Within this framework, community-based services foster individual autonomy; solidarity-based economies create stable, dignified work; and a culture of civic engagement recognizes diversity as an asset.<\/p>\n

The South becomes the starting point for a laboratory of change, where integral ecology and an ethical, sustainable economy intertwine to generate autonomy and co-responsibility. Local areas are revitalized alongside their inhabitants through actions that unite rights and duties, social justice and legality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
