ESPLORA

iTALY
Esplora is an organization with a vocation to change the world. It was born in February 2013 out of the concern of a group of friends, who after many years of having acquired experience, knowledge and expertise in the world of youth education and interculturalism, came together.
 
Between them, they decided to become promoters of the philosophy of sustainable tourism, responsible travel and the need for intercultural education, especially among young people.
 
Esplora is concerned with the promotion of responsible tourism and organizes trips to discover other cultures. They prepare not only recreational and relaxing experiences, but also educational and formative ones. They also organize training courses and offer advice in the field of planning and management on a not-for-profit basis. In this way, they generate experiences that not only allow to get to know other environments, cultures and places, but are also an enriching experience for the human being in an integral way.
 
All initiatives are developed by members of Esplora, who wish to share and disseminate their experiences of intercultural encounters, promoting dialogue and opposing points of view.
