HOW WE OPERATE

 
The Association operates mainly through the instruments of Information & Communication Technology in order to utilize the possibilities offered by virtual networks in terms of rapidity, facility of use and breadth of contacts, with the activation of on-line channels of communication, presentation of initiatives and of their results, as well as the management of plans and projects.

The principle of confidentiality is at the root of the success of any virtual network and the Association places maximum attention on ensuring the privacy and anonymity of sources in all the activities realised.

A reserved area is dedicated to the relationships between the organizations participating in the network in order to deal with all the sensitive aspects of the methods adopted in order to achieve the general and specific objectives of the collaboration.

With projects, the participants can get involved in the network, with significant activities aimed at appraising and diffusing Italian culture and traditions, as well as favouring integration between the communities of Italian origin and the various other communities residing in their countries of adoption. Various activities connected with these projects can moreover be aimed both towards the development of the communities and that of Italy itself.

With news we propose to publicise the main events promoted by Italy and by the participants in the network and to give information regarding history, culture and current events published in the press as well as by book publishers and in the mass media, that might regard themes and issues coherent with the aims and purposes of the Association.

With discussions we have the objective of increasing dialogue and debate between the representatives and the friends of the network on themes regarding the Italian presence in the world in the past, the present and the future.

Through surveys the Association intends to find out and investigate the points of view of communities of Italian origin concerning their relationships with the Italy of today, and to publicise their expectations and their suggestions, so that Italy can become aware of their opinions and take them into due account.
