The Fellowship, through direct action, promotes at the local, regional, national, and international levels any and all initiatives useful for the dissemination of knowledge and the enhancement of Cultural and Natural Heritage. In particular—though not exclusively—this includes projects and initiatives aimed at the identification, study, recovery, conservation, and promotion of all kinds of cultural assets, as well as the promotion and circulation of cultural goods and information, and the development of professions, businesses, and activities in the related economic sectors, with special attention given to young people.
