| Short profile: | APG is a nondenominational, non-partisan and non-profit organization that operates specifically in the following areas:

Promotion of Youth, to APG, means the development and integration of everything concerning this age group, through projects conceived, designed and implemented to achieve this.
Common examples are: meetings with companies, professional associations, artisans, state and private schools, universities, training seminars in various European areas that can address the socio APG or organizations associated with our network, inter-cultural exchanges between Italian regions and between European countries and beyond, movies, discussions on topics relevant to young people and in social life, moments of entertainment, concerts, trips, etc. ...
Active citizenship is the citizens' participation in the activities and social life of an area.
To be a young active citizen not only means to benefit from the standard tools of every entity, but to get closer to some of the communities of reference, and become an integral part of them.
Being active citizen means contributing to the community thanks to a sense of civic participation inherent in all of us and from this stems the Civic Education, which APG refers to.
The aim is to encourage young people to reflect on a wide spread of European issues, such as European citizenship and to involve them in discussions on the development and the future of the European Union.
On this basis, projects should have a widely European dimension and stimulate reflection on the emerging European society and its values.
The APG, having high humanitarian aims, wants to promote, in full compliance with state laws, the full implementation of the International Convention of Human Rights.
The Italian Constitution and the provisions of law, national and international laws, protect the rights of every living thing and especially the disadvantaged groups less protected by society: the elderly, sick, children with disabilities and vulnerable groups in general.
The APG acts as a means to protect the rights of young people and as an incitement for public institutions, not in opposition but along them, for the common aim of the protection of rights.
