Artemisszio Foundation
Artemisszio Foundation is a private organisation recognised as of public interest since its creation in 1989. Our mission is to help people break trough the barriers that separate cultural and social groups. This also means we encourage young people of minority or disadvantaged backgrounds to engage in social mobility and we are fighting against racism, discrimination and hate speech. All our activities are based on intercultural learning, which we consider as a tool to enlarge one’s vision, to open up to the world and to challenge ourselves to overcome our limits. We have four major centres of activities: we propose work placement, volunteering or thematic training to young people in a foreign environment; we direct programmes for migrants in order to foster their social integration; we work with schools for the promotion of intercultural pedagogy and global education. Some of the tools we use have been developed by ourselves and we have several accredited training courses for teachers, policemen, medical and social workers.
