South America
Terra Nuova started working in South America in the 70’s, and is currently involved in five countries, with own offices in four countries: Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Peru.
Terra Nuova action in South America is mainly linked to three main themes: the management of sustainable resources, the promotion of rights and the bilingual intercultural education.
These themes are defined according to the social subjects with whom Terra Nuova co-operates: indigenous population, children and adolescents at risk, womens’ movements, small local producers. Terra Nuova is continuing its thirty-year involvement in South America by reinforcing the links with these social categories, and by expanding the intervention areas and the alliances, according to the specific situation of each country, primarily with those associations in Italy and Europe which share our values and our approach.
