About the organisation
Mondinsieme has been founded in Reggio Emilia, a city selected by the Council of Europe to take part in the Intercultural Cities programme, both for its intercultural policies and for the high presence of migrants, about the 18% of the total population. The Centre promotes the intercultural dialogue, the reciprocal exchange, and the participation of foreigners and Italians in a process of inclusion and mutual empowerment. Mondinsieme is convinced that understanding and meeting each other prevents situation of cultural marginalization and the rise of identity radicalism, as well as fostering intercultural citizenship. Thus, it operates for a shared integration among Italians and foreigners with the role of Institutions as values-based mediators, to enhance intercultural relations and the diversity advantage. The main mission of the Centre is being a laboratory of best practices, a space of active citizenship, and a network of connections, skills, relationships at the disposals for winning the challenges of integration.
Mondinsieme is focusing on diversity advantage and diversity management:
Welfare and economy improve if we take into account the global dimension of exchanges among people, cultures, markets. At the service of the entrepreneurial and professional improvement, to perfect intercultural and linguistic skills and strategies of people, companies, NGOs, public and private bodies, Mondinsieme and its networks offer trainings on relationship and inner complexity management to organizations with workers having different origins, languages, and cultures compared to the ones of the belonging company.
