The Association Study Center City of Foligno (CSF) is a training agency active since 2000 within the Municipality of Foligno. The Association is a no-profit public organization funded by the Municipality of Foligno, the Province of Perugia, the Umbria Region, the University of Perugia and the local bank Fundation. CSF has worked with and for different target groups, always starting from the assumption that an high-quality education and training are fundamental to the individual’s fulfilment.  From our perspective, “Education for all” deals with the realization of training courses and other formative interventions addressed to disadvantaged groups. Unemployment, handicap, gender and racial discrimination, from one side, have been dismantled with adaptability, guidance and social inclusion, from the other side.

CSF’s core business is  the research of local, national and community funds, for two main reasons:

1)     Answer to needs and problems of people who live in Foligno and in the surrounded areas

2)     Connect people with a wider educational and working context, with the aim to favor an intercultural comparison and dialogue for the development of the person and of the society in general We constantly try to deepen a real transnational cooperation in the field of adult education, increase awareness of European cooperation and opportunities and help young adults in finding their role in the everyday life.

Since  2010, CSF has been implementing several Eu funded projects (Programmes LLP, Erasmus+, Cosme, Europe for Citizens) addressed to the following beneficiaries:
