VVI is a foundation committed to strengthening active citizenship, social inclusion, and intercultural dialogue through creative, community-based initiatives. With a strong belief in the value of non-formal education and experiential learning, VVI empowers individuals – particularly those in remote and rural areas – to participate fully in society and address today’s social challenges.
Locally, the foundation develops inclusive programs, organizes workshops and seminars, and supports community members in building the skills and confidence needed for civic engagement. On a national level, VVI leads youth-focused campaigns and training initiatives that raise awareness about key societal issues.
Internationally, VVI actively collaborates with partners across Europe through programs like Erasmus+, Europe for Citizens, and the European Social Fund.

Cultiv is a non-profit association established in 2013 by a group of professionals from various fields, united by the belief that art and culture are powerful tools for social transformation. The organization works to promote citizenship, personal development, and access to knowledge through creative expression and community engagement.
Born from a shared commitment to give greater social meaning to individual cultural projects, Cultiv brings together initiatives that use literature, writing, and artistic experimentation to foster inclusion, reduce isolation, and strengthen local identity. Whether encouraging creative expression in institutional settings, building bonds between neighbors through poetry, or mapping personal memories to preserve local heritage, Cultiv creates spaces where people connect, reflect, and grow through culture.
