Coop. Soc. ALTERNATA SILoS
Background:
Alternata S.I.LO.S. is a social cooperative, founded in 2007, under the planning push of some members and founding members of territorial associations operating since 2001 in the municipality of Guidonia – Montecelio (RM), by citizens who participated in other associations and non-profit organizations of the same territory (Ass Tribùle and Ass. Atlantide), among young professionals of the Roman sector, and thanks to the assignment of a public contribution for the activation of a social cooperative in the territory (Call Filas).

Alternata operates in local territories, where migrants are increasing without suitable measures that could favourite their social inclusion, and so has been created phenomenon like marginalization, criminality, and sexual mistreatment. Our approach aims at growing respect and welcome conditions, especially for women and children to help them to have the same dignity and rights like other citizens.
