Objectives

The Foundation supported the strategic development plan of the non-profit association Axé Italia. The association raised funds in Italy in favour of Projeto Axè Brazil in Salvador de Bahia and spread the Pedagogy of Desire and Axé ArtEducation throughout Italian universities, local administrations and non-profit organizations via training courses, meetings and exchanges.

Beneficiaries

  • Projeto Axé Brazil, working with the youth living in the favelas of Salvador de Bahia;
  • Associations and NGOs working with socially marginalized youths in Italy and collaborating with universities, training centres and local administrations.

Activities

Since 2009, the Foundation has promoted and supported the start up and consolidation of structured activities aimed at raising awareness and funds in favour of Projeto Axé Brazil in Italy and circulating its Pedagogy of Desire and ArtEducation methodology in favor of marginalized youths. In order to reach these goals, Fondation Alta Mane covered Axé Italy administrative and operational costs as well as numerous parallel initiatives aimed at introducing Axé experience and results and spread the Pedagogy of Desire in Italy.

In 2015, Axé Italy inaugurated the Casa dell’ArtEducazione (the art-education house) in one of the neighborhoods at greater social risk in Milan. The centre was built in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan, the University of Turin and the support of Cariplo Foundation and Pro-Solidar.
