The Social Cooperative “Nuovi Orizzonti Sociali”, was born in 1985 with the object of planning and running social interventions for the elderly, the differently abled and the minors. An increasingly numerous and united team has developed in over thirty years in the social assistance and educational field, a model of professionalism, participation and inclusion in the public project.

The considerable increase in dimensions of the company, which now has over 200 employees, has led Nuovi Orizzonti Sociali to carry out some strategies to make the company more competitive and in perfect harmony with the present economic and social demands: structuring of the company website, internal reorganization in terms of roles and responsibilities and creation of a European project office.

The Nuovi Orizzonti Sociali Cooperative acts in the interest of the community around the following intervention centres:

• Social Assistance area
• Health and Hygiene area
• Education area
• Planning and Innovation area
• European Planning
