Vision: CEMEA promotes the respect of people diversities, believing in everyone's desire to better one self. Making this opportunity accessible to each individual is CEMEA’s main aim.
Mission: CEMEA’s (Training Centres for Active Education Methodology) educational activity, combined with the international learning opportunities offered by the European Union, support participation, intercultural approach, local dimension and active citizenship as basic elements for collective and individual actions.
This mission has leaded Cemea to manage directly different services in Rome aimed to support children, adolescent and youngsters development through non formal education. Nowadays, Cemea del Mezzogiorno is directly involved in managing 2 playgrounds (4-11 years old), 1 adolescent centres (9-15 years old) and 3 youth centre (starting from 11 years old) and 1 service for international mobility.
The centres are focused on the personal development of users through any kind of activity that can stimulate creativity and participation in them. Intercultural exchange and respect for diversities are transversal objectives in the work with all kind of target group, especially in a capital like Rome with a relevant number of immigrant families. The main aims of the educational work done in the centres are to help people to:
express themselves;
find new cultural inputs;
recognize and valorise personal and collective entrepreneurship;
foster self-esteem and develop a positive approach towards society;
acquire abilities and specific competencies;
According to CEMEAs the growth is based on ‘doing’; the activities are an important means to understand and to relate with each others. An activity must hold individual and social meaning. We are not interested in ‘doing it’ for the sake of just doing. We care that what it is done could involve in the person as a whole, in its entirety and complexity. Mobility as well is conceived as an educational tool to foster self-confidence and to increase transversal skills, exploiting all the added value of an intercultural environment.
The Arts and Play House is an educative project with children realised by Cemea del Mezzogiorno and financed by the national fund for young people and children; in the frame of Arts and play House’s project, CEMEA del Mezzogiorno manages 3 different playgrounds in the 5th municipality of Rome (Via Penazzato – Via degli Angeli – Via Policastro inside Pisacane school) working mainly with 4/11 year old children and their community; we work to offer children a place where they can act in freedom and accordingly to their “desire” and ideas, experimenting respectful and co-operational relationships; we try to make them feel more at ease with school programs helping them to get more conscious of their capacity and to better express them.
Casa delle Arti e del Gioco in via Policastro is located in Torpignattara – Marranella quarter, it is an eco-friendly brick pavilion located in a green area on the same road of the Kindergarden and the Nursery of Carlo Pisacane School.
