Resumo: The organization is located in a 97,45 squared km town and it has always enjoyed an international social context, thanks to its important textile industry – which is one of the most important in Europe. The hosts more than 28.000 people aged between 15 and 29, counting as the 15% of the entire population.

During the last few years a great immigration flux has involved th town as well as many other cities in the western world. Today the town counts about 200.000 inhabitants, the 13% of which are foreigners: a quote that enabled the town to be one of most multicultural town at a national level.

Currently, at an economic level, the textile industry has decreased its importance. Therefore a strong need to embrace innovative fields has been raised such as culture, communication, spare-time and touristic services.

In the last few years our organisation has built a co-operation network with the Province, the Municipality, and the other municipalities of the province.

For examples, in collaboration whit the municipalities organises each year international and national work camps.
