It has three main objectives: – empower youth; – educate to European citizenship; -promote intercultural dialogue within Europe and among Mediterranean countries.For instance, together with the Department of Business and Law of Cosenza University, the Association has structured a formative liaison which allows students to work and learn at the same moment in order to be introduced to the job market. What is more, Futuro Digitale officially obtained the role as job agency by the Ministry of Labour – this is implemented through non-formal education strategies which enable youth to further reflect on employability skills and entrepreneurship.
