EUROPEAN PROJECTS
Since 2019, the Zanandrea Foundation has begun to design and develop projects within the programs funded by the European Union “Erasmus Plus” and “European Solidarity Corps”. The aims of these projects are to finance research and development in the social and social educational fields, to promote the European mobility of young people and to enrich the internal skills of the operators group.
As a partner, we mainly participate in Key Action 2 (KA2) of the “Erasmus Plus” program which aims to promote the exchange of good practices and foster educational innovation at European level and finance research and development projects. We are accredited as a reliable and competent partner in the development of inclusive projects at local, national and European level.
In 2021 we also obtained the recognition of the “quality label” to nominate “European Solidarity Corps” projects that make it possible to finance European mobility projects for volunteering and personal enrichment projects for young girls and boys. Within these projects we host volunteers from different European countries, who in addition to living an experience of great personal enrichment, bring ideas, energy and new stimuli into our daily activities.
