New Horizons
(Project Coordinator)
NEW HORIZONS is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 in Sicily, Italy dedicated to promoting social development and cultural preservation for the local territory and bridging the rather isolated local community to the dynamic world outside by means of education and training, information service, and international cooperation.
In essence, the founding members aim to construct “new horizons” in the imminent future of the people and crucially young people in their city of residence.
Based in Tusa, a small ancient town of approximately 3,000 inhabitants, New Horizons takes the initiative to rediscover, revitalize, and re-launch a town struggling with depopulation, youth unemployment and the shortage of socio-cultural services for its remaining residents.
New Horizons has been actively participating in Erasmus+ programme under a variety of Key Actions (KA1, KA2, KA3) and fields (Youth, Adult, VET, Sports). Our key areas of intervention include: Social entrepreneurship education, Promotion of Traditional Heritage, Accessible and Sustainable tourism, and inclusive health-enhancing Sports.
