À propos de l'organisme d'accueil local

FPD was founded in 2009, thanks the Regional Governament which granted its foundation on the basis of the activities planned for the social development of the regional rural areas. It is a non-profit regional civil organization, made by young and senior people. It's mission is to promote and facilitate the development of rural areas of the Puglia Region, thanks to the implementation of projects concerning volunteering, youth, social inclusion, environment protection, sustainable development, promotion of the importance of biodiversity, organic farming, nature and sport and outdoor activities. FPD focuses its attention on European mobility, both for the personal development of its single members and for the growth of local partner organizations at International level. The main target group is youth under 35 y.o., but the organization also works with senior people. Both the categories have in common the fact they are made of disadvantaged people from rural areas. The young people are mainly NEET, which means FPD offers them several opportunities to learn, be trained and educated at local and European level in order to enrich their curricula and get more chances for their job-placement or self-employment. FPD cooperates with several Public and Private entities at all levels, such as: a) Municipality of Taurisano (IT) - FPD cooperates in the organization of local events in several fields (waste collection, Music festivals, youth participation in decision making processes, cultural activities, music events, photo exhibitions....); b) Province of Lecce (IT) – FPD had a project concerning young people's involvement in local initiatives concerning ecology and biological food, re-use of different materials and recycle of waste; c) Region of Puglia (IT) – FPD cooperates with its Region on projects concerning promotion of natural resources of rural areas; d) Several EU NGOs are partners in the implementation of Youth Exchanges, Youth and Democracy projects, Training Courses, seminars, workshops, volunteering activties in different fields. What is more, FPD is member of numerous European Networks financed by the Europe for Citizens Programme, for the valorization of the EU Cultural Heritage (tangible, intangible, digital and natural), the promotion of Youth Mobility for learning, training, working, studying and volunteering abroad, the active participation (mainly digital participation) at EU level of youth and seniors.

Présentation du programme

Since 2008 we have been organizing Memorabilia, our music festival made by volunteers, which over the years has become a reference not only at local level, where emerging artists share the stage with important artists of Italian music. Free festival, accessible culture in the middle of the neighborhood. Memorabilia is a festival powered entirely by volunteers—from the kitchen to the bar, from welcoming artists to bringing spaces to life. It is a self-managed, community-driven event fueled by passion and collaboration. This year, we’re reaching out for an extra helping hand! We’re assembling a team to help design and build the festival’s physical spaces, contribute during the event in areas like cooking, bar service, communication, and logistics, and support the post-festival reorganization. All of this will happen in a vibrant, communal atmosphere alongside local volunteers, long-term ESC project volunteers who have been with us since September, and an abundance of great energy.
