The mobility project EVS "LET'S Amunì - School Education Against Early Leaving" has been developed in partnership with the organizations: Asociacion Juvenil interchangeable (Spain) and Pistes Solidaires Méditerranée (France). The project will take place, from September 2016 to June 2017, in Palermo (Sicily) and will last nine months. It will involve two young people between 18-30 years (one for each partner organization).

They will experience a socio-educational path that will stimulate their reflection on the phenomena of marginalization involving the neighborhood of Borgo Vecchio in Palermo, a neighborhood strongly characterized by high level social exclusion, and in which, as a no profit organization, we manage a center against early school leaving and another one against gender violence.
