General Information

De Amicitia is a non-profit non-governmental organization, officially registered in the Spanish National Registry of Associations since 2020. The organization is based in a rural area near the city of Dénia, in the Marina Alta region of the Valencian Community. The decision to operate in a rural context is a deliberate one, reflecting De Amicitia’s strong commitment to promoting sustainable local development, enhancing peripheral areas, and strengthening local communities.
De Amicitia Levante is a new NGO and a delegation of De Amicitia, created from the long-standing commitment and experience of a group of volunteers who have actively contributed to De Amicitia’s mission over many years.
The organisation represents the continuation and development of this volunteer-based experience, with the aim of strengthening local and international cooperation, intercultural dialogue, solidarity and active citizenship.
Over the years, several volunteers have acquired key responsibilities within De Amicitia and have become leading figures in the creation and coordination of this new organisation. Among them, Daniela Oliva, who has served as Secretary, and Gemma, who has taken the role of Vice-President, have played an important role in supporting the growth, organisation and strategic development of De Amicitia Levante.
Building on the values and experience of De Amicitia, De Amicitia Levante aims to promote cooperation between communities, cultural exchange, youth participation and initiatives that foster understanding and dialogue across the Mediterranean region.
A core element of De Amicitia’s work is its strong focus on social inclusion. The organization designs and implements projects specifically aimed at involving volunteers and participants with fewer opportunities, offering them safe spaces for learning, dialogue, and personal growth. Through non-formal education methodologies and a person-centred approach, De Amicitia seeks to reduce social
inequalities, facilitate access to European opportunities, and promote equality and diversity as fundamental values. The De Amicitia team is characterized by a high level of multidisciplinarity and adaptability. Each staff member brings a different educational and professional
background, enabling the organization to address complex issues from complementary perspectives. The team includes a psychology consultant, two sociologists, a marine biologist, and other professionals with expertise in educational, social, and environmental fields. This internal diversity represents a key asset, ensuring high-quality interventions based on integrated scientific, pedagogical, and human-centred approaches.
