Med.O.R.O.
Italy
Medoro is an Italian organization that has its own mission in promoting local sustainable development, social cohesion, international cooperation and above all youth – through self-employment
Over 15 years of activity, Medoro has promoted and managed, directly or in partnership with Public and Private Entities, numerous training, territorial development and transnational cooperation projects.
Medoro believes that youth work and youth employment pass through engagement and dialogue between educational institutions, families and businesses and that it is necessary to change the way we see and think about our own professional future (not necessarily a single job, as an employee, for the rest of our lives), aiming, from an early age, to the need to acquire entrepreneurial mentality and propensity to innovation.
Medoro is committed to promoting the involvement of public institutions and local actors who are protagonists of development processes and, in particular, to facilitate the participation of the main actors involved in the “education-training-work-entrepreneurship” chain, to the initiatives of territorial cooperation, youth mobility, design and experimentation of innovative and valued European training tools.”
