Terzo Millennio strives to create, at local and global level, processes of development based on peace, democracy and the dialogue among different cultures and religions. It works to prevent every kind of racism, discrimination, xenophobia and social exclusion, promoting solidarity and cooperation. Our vision is to build up a new world, where differences, exchanges, intercultural dialogue and solidarity are the greatest richness of humanity. We believe in a society where each person can live in dignity and respect. Terzo Millennio acts to promote, locally as well as globally, social participation and lifelong learning as tools for human and professional development, particularly of the younger generations. It strives to build sustainable development processes based on peace, respect for human rights, democracy and dialogue between different cultures and religions. It combats all forms of racism, discrimination, xenophobia and social exclusion, through practices of solidarity, cooperation, sustainable development, environmental protection and active citizenship. Founding values of the association's action are: - the constitutional precepts of peace, solidarity and anti-fascism; - the need to rebalance the huge gaps in wealth and resources that separate the poor and rich parts of the world; - the right of all citizens to animate processes of social, economic and cultural sustainability; - the idea that the only sustainable and acceptable development is based on peace, respect for human rights and democracy, on the rejection of all racist, sexist or religious discrimination; - the fundamental importance of the participation of young generations in the social and politics of communities, countries and the world
Terzo Millennio mainly conducts fieldwork through the methods and techniques of Non-Formal Education to empower people, both at personal and community level, to achieve a fair and just society. We believe in the strength of networking, the need for exchange and dialogue, and the personal and professional growth that comes from working with partners from different sectors: local and international NGOs, institutions, agencies, schools, universities. As an organization, we work so that everyone has the opportunity to fit into civil society in a worthy manner, following their inclinations, meeting their needs and fulfilling their desires. We believe in the bond that exists between individuals and communities and that only through the enhancement of both and the cooperation of all societal instances, locally as well as globally, is it possible to build an inclusive, just, sustainable and intercultural society.
Our organisation will contribute to the development of the network at the national level by carrying out local initiatives, promoting the network's activities, proactively participating in its initiatives, and proposing joint actions to the other national network member organisations.
The objectives of the Anna Lindh Foundation and the methods of intervention are shared by Terzo Millennio. Our organisation believes that networking is essential to achieve joint work against racism, xenophobia and all forms of discrimination. Belonging to the Anna Lindh Foundation's network, with which we share the same spirit and mission, would contribute to making our interventions more incisive. Moreover, confrontation with other realities would contribute to the professional growth of the members of our organisation, enriching our team with new experiences and knowledge.
