The Fondazione Mondo Digitale is one of the winners of the Google.org Impact Challenge on Security, a fund that helps non-profit organisations to develop practical solutions to contrast hate and extremism and promotes the safety of children, both on- and off-line.
There are 29 grant recipients from 14 countries that will receive a total of €10 million for their activities. The organisations were selected by a panel of experts from nearly 900 candidates from around Europe. In Italy, four projects implemented by five non-profit organisations were selected for funding, including the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, that presented “Social Hosting Hub. Integrated, Local and On-line Educational Platform with High Impact and Inclusive Density. No Separation.”
The objective of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and partner organisations - Comunità di Sant'Egidio, ActionAid and Parole O_stili – is to create the first phyrtual (physical and virtual) educational ecosystem of connections, relations, communities. A safe space for everyone, starting from children with concrete tools for each age group, information and the selection of the best communicational and behavioural styles to learn in a transformative manner and develop new paradigms for coexistence based on common values.
