Our team

JUMP is a cultural organization born in Calabria in 2012 from the will of a team of young adults who studied and worked for years outside of the region of Calabria with the same common interest in Europe, its functioning, institutions, and values. Coming back to the native land they discovered that many things could have been done to improve the situation and be active players in the wider European framework. Calabria is a beautiful territory, with charming natural places, the Ionian sea and long sandy beaches, high mountains, lovely hills, and historical hamlets. On the other hand, the region is poor and underdeveloped with two main problems: youth unemployment and depopulation. JUMP wants to solve especially these problems through the development of opportunities for networking, learning, and growing. JUMP works at the international level remaining reliable to the local valorisation and it’s involved in a permanent activity of project design and management.

OUR VISION
LIDOSK has been working to evaluate nature and create sustainable nature awareness since 2010. Our motto is “the only thing we leave in nature are our footprints.” We believe that nature is our home and only with the help of young people can we keep it safe. We want to combat all forms of discrimination and promote cultural diversity, social cohesion, sustainable development and promote youth mobility in Europe. Our main goal is to activate young people through the promotion of intercultural learning, human rights, active citizenship and volunteering activities. We especially encourage young people with fewer opportunities or disabilities to take action.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
We promote intercultural learning, human rights, active citizenship, volunteering, sports for a healthy lifestyle and environmental protection. We also support cooperation between young people through our volunteering projects and exchanges with European countries. We encourage young people to learn more about cultural differences, modernity and digitalization. We work both locally and internationally. We participate in various Erasmus+ projects such as training courses, youth exchanges, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, European Solidarity Corps volunteering programmes, strategic partnership development and capacity building in many different areas.
