ESC: ESC in FVG – EMPOWER SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

The "Piccolo Principe" is a multiple social cooperative that offers personal services and work integration, born from the natural development of the voluntary association "Il Noce". We wish to promote the well-being of people, especially those who live in situations of fragility, the recognition of their rights and their real possibility of exercising them. We want to build fair, responsible and supportive communities, based on the principles of social justice, in which everyone can contribute, with their abilities and choices, to the care of the common good. We want to do this through the model of social economy, guaranteeing social, economic and environmental sustainability. We believe in the uniqueness of each person. We believe that everyone has the right to develop himself and the community where he lives in an active way through work, relationships and the expression of his abilities. For all these reasons minors, young people, adults, families and community are the focus of our actions. We accompany them on their process of personal and collective development and we pay more attention to those who live situations of fragility. In our cooperative there are 10 services that seek to achieve these goals: - production and business services - cooking and catering - educational and social farm - vending machines - fair trade shop - applicants for international protection - services people with disabilities - services families - services young people - services minors
