CIFA was founded in 1980 as an organization involved in international adoptions. In the early 2000s it opened its own offices for international cooperation and human rights education, through which it expanded its activities in the fields of fields of environmental protection, support for schooling, and the fight against discrimination. In Italy the issues most urgent and relevant to CIFA’s priorities and work are educational poverty, the challenges of the school system but also the difficulties of families that often fail to educate or provide young people with tools for growth, analysis and interrelation with society and its challenges.
In recent years (2017-2020), CIFA has participated in projects on education for global citizenship education that have certainly realised a turning point in CIFA’s planning in Italy, especially with reference to Global Citizenship Education, also taking into account that the organisation has been coordinating since 2016 the GCE-Global Campaign on Education network that promotes in Italy the capital importance of the right to education.
These projects (especially #IoRispetto, Young Narrators, #SOStenibilmente, Hate Trackers) have also helped to structure the CIFA’s strategy in the field of ECG, identifying anti-discrimination and education for sustainable development as the main axes of interest for CIFA. sustainable development as the main axes of interest for future interventions in this field.
