🏢 About the local organisation

It was born in 1969 as a voluntary association. It works in the social health care. Since 1994 it runs the "Giulio Locatelli" centre, a residential and daily care service for people with different levels of disabilities. The guests are from 5 years old up. The principal aims are to give a non independent person physical, emotional and relational support based on his real needs, to improve his quality life also in terms of inclusion and integration.

📍 About the location

The project will take place in Pordenone, the third city in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in the North East of Italy, at about 60 km from Venice. The name Pordenone comes from Latin Portus Naonis, meaning port on the Noncello river. Pordenone has around 51.000 inhabitants. Placed in a strategic position close to the mountains and to the sea. Employed people work for the most on the third sector. The economy is also based on electricity and mechanics factories and on wood. Agriculture and craftsmanship are still important sectors as well as the Friulian one which keeps up the mountain traditions.
