As part of the project, the following activities are carried out:
- free private lessons in subjects in which pupils show difficulties;
- listening and psychological support to address the difficulties that pupils detect in school and daily life;
- photography workshops to promote knowledge of the territory and feeling of belonging.
With this project, boys and girls receive support and accompaniment, as long as they deem it appropriate and until their active inclusion in society.

The Italian cultural center “CAPITANO FRANCESCO DE NEGRI”
EURIDIT founded and supports in the Liceo Limamoulaye, from over 10 years, the Italian Cultural Center “CAPITANO FRANCESCO DE NEGRI”, to remember the figure and the values witnessed by Captain De Negri, killed in the massacre – historically well known – of Kefalonia.
To the vengeful and inhuman act suffered by the father, the daughter wanted to counteract an act of solidarity to remind young people of the value foundations defended by the Captain: the love of peace, for democracy and respect for the law.
The Center currently accommodates approximately 50 students who have chosen the Italian language in their study curriculum and supports them in their knowledge of Italian history and culture, comparing the values of the two countries, promoting solidarity among peoples.
