BABELE is a non profit organization that has been operating since 2001 for the integration of foreign families in Pavia area.
BABELE is active in several areas: linguistic and cultural mediation, information, guidance and advice on the laws that regulate the entry and stay in Italy, cooperation with the Foreign Desk of the town center; afterschool activities for young people. Babel tries to improve and strengthen the ties between the associations and the city, at the same time spreading the message of solidarity and defense of human and civil rights. All services are free of charge.
Cultural MediationWhen different cultures come into contact conflicts can arise: it can be necessary to mediate in order to make the meeting constructive, overcoming misconceptions and discovering new perspectives. In particular Babel deals with mediation to facilitate the integration of foreigner people into Italian society.
