Approaches
L’Albero della Vita’s educational programs are mainly intended for socially-isolated children and youths and aim at converting disadvantages into an opportunity: by regenerating people’s innate capacity of being proactive with regards to events, i.e. trying to learn something and take a positive input from each situation in order to reach a higher awareness, better inner capacities and to pursue a value-oriented life.
