Our organization believes deeply in the need to promote communication between people, beyond cultural, social and individual differences, and we believe in the right of everyone to express their feelings and being, even in cases of personal difficulties, disability or psychosocial distress.
The tool we use to help individuals and groups enter into communication with others and be aware of their own resources and possibilities is art therapy. In our 33 years of existence, we have developed a specific multimodal methodology that integrates art therapy (all forms of art), psychology and educational methodologies.The name of this integrated intervention is: Metodo Integrato Marchio-Patti (Integrated Method Marchio-Patti)

We promote:

• psychophysical well-being
• prevention and rehabilitation of psychological and social distress
• social inclusion
• cultural integration
• the protection of people at risk of marginalization
• gender equality
