About Us

A Cultural Association in Salento: From School to Europe

From Salento

With roots in the school

Toward Europe

Projects and partners across the continent

OUR HISTORY

Born in the classroom, raised with Europe

Our group consists of teachers who have taught or are currently teaching at all levels of education, driven by a passion for passing on knowledge and skills to future generations.

Throughout their careers, they have carried out numerous training and mobility projects across Europe, and have welcomed and mentored young people from abroad during their training placements at local companies.

The Association was founded with the goal of creating opportunities for connection, training, participation, and growth, while promoting the development of individuals, the local community, and dialogue among different cultures.
Our Mission

We believe in culture as a tool for knowledge and inclusion, in education as a means of personal and professional growth, and in European mobility as an opportunity to open oneself up to new experiences and perspectives.

Our Vision

A Salento open to Europe, where every young person can find opportunities to forge their own path.

WHAT WE DO

From Cultural Activities to Europe

We promote and organize cultural activities, English language courses, educational and creative workshops, initiatives dedicated to the environment and the promotion of the local area, youth exchanges, and European projects under the Erasmus+ program.
THE MESSAGE

Walking together isn’t just a slogan

We come from the world of education: for decades, we have accompanied young people on their journey of growth, both inside and outside the classroom. SINODIA was founded to continue that journey with new tools—European projects, cultural activities, and training—and with the same conviction as always: that every person truly grows when they encounter others, when they step outside their own boundaries, and when they walk alongside someone else.

Whether you’re a young person, a family, a school, or a European organization, our door is open: tell us who you are, and let’s take the next step together.

Sinodía, from the Greek, means “walking together”: creating connections between people, cultures, and regions.
