NEW HORIZONS is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 dedicated to promoting social development and cultural preservation for the local territory. It is founded and run by young professionals who are designing, implementing and evaluating local and international youth projects.
New Horizons is currently member of a pan-European network of 7 organizations from 7 European countries.
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.
