Mission
In essence, the founding members aim to construct “new horizons” in the imminent future of the people and crucially young people in their city of residence.
Based in Tusa, a small ancient town of approximately 3,000 inhabitants in the province of Messina (Italy), New Horizons takes the initiative to rediscover, revitalize, and relaunch a floundering town dealing with depopulation, youth unemployment and the shortage of socio-cultural services for its remaining residents.
