Associazione Culturale Link is a cultural organization created in 2003 by both experienced youth leaders and young people. Link was created with the aim of having a tool to better access the needs of young people living in our local community and territory so to give a concrete contribution to satisfy their requests in terms of participation, active citizenship, feeling of belonging to a common Europe, tolerance and antiracism. In a more specific way our aim is to get young people closer to European issues, to bring a European dimension in a region far away from decision-making centers and peripheral in terms of geographical and economic position.
We provide help and training to young people –inside and outside the organization – who wants to implement new projects fostering their participation through the organization of international youth exchanges, intercultural learning activities, information campaigns and workshops about various topics.
Our activities approach youth from 8 years on with workshops in local primary schools, language classes is high schools and weekly cultural activities in our office all year long.

Since 2011 Link is officially an European NGO, being head organization of a non-formal network of European Organization, moreover Link is part of the national network RIVE which focus on quality for European Volunteer Service.
