Educazione Progetto

What Educazione Progetto does

Educazione Progetto (legal name: Cooperativa Sociale Educazione Progetto Soc. Coop. Onlus, also known as EduPro) is an Italian social cooperative founded in 1978 in Turin and headquartered at Via Perrone 3 bis. The cooperative delivers community welfare services across five service lines: early childhood and family services (including the Casa Zoe toy library, Micronido Piccoli Fiori nursery for ages 6–36 months, play groups in two pediatric hospitals, and projects such as Ben-nasco and Ora di Futuro), youth services (Moncalieri Informa, CCR Rivoli children's council, Piazza Ragazzabile, Passione Civica, GIO.CA.CI, Comunit-Azione, Nonni 2.0, and the mental-health project Chiedimi se sono felice), employment and orientation services (Servizio al Lavoro in Nichelino, OOP Obiettivo Orientamento Piemonte, Giovani al lavoro 4.0, APL technical assistance for disability placement), community welfare (Sportello RDC for Reddito di Cittadinanza, Casa Dolce Casa and To Home social housing, Moncalieri Digitale for digital literacy, ASLO social rental agency), and administrative/information desks (e.g., the integrated information desk in La Loggia).

The cooperative operates through 30 service locations concentrated in the Turin metropolitan area (Moncalieri, Nichelino, Rivoli, Beinasco, Borgaretto, La Loggia, Rosta, Settimo Torinese, Vinovo, Piossasco, Collegno, Grugliasco) with project-led outreach into Rome and Lecce. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, or API; service delivery relies on traditional in-person methods supplemented by project websites, a Facebook page, a YouTube channel and the cooperative's institutional site. All services are provided free of charge to end users.

The business model is entirely public-sector and foundation-funded: revenue is generated through project-based commissions and contracts with municipalities (Moncalieri, Nichelino, Rivoli, Beinasco, La Loggia, Torino), Regione Piemonte, Agenzia Piemonte Lavoro, two pediatric hospitals, and Italian schools, supplemented by grants from foundations and national programmes including Impresa Sociale Con i Bambini, Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRT, Fondazione Zancan, Mission Bambini, and Generali's Human Safety Net. The cooperative holds UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (since 2004), regional orientation accreditation from Regione Piemonte (since 2004), registration in the Albo delle Cooperative Sociali (A100853) and in RUNTS (19015, 2022). It is governed as a member-owned cooperative under Italian cooperative law, with Vittorio Saraco as President, and reports no parent company, subsidiaries, equity funding rounds, or M&A activity.

• Gi Group: Major Italian staffing and HR services firm with significant public-sector employment services. Comparable in employment/orientation services but operates as a for-profit multinational with broader geographic reach.

Regional players
