THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD
The MEDITERRANEAN FOUNDATION, since its creation in 1990 immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, has taken as one of its main objectives the establishment of the "UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD": from an intuition of Gustavo Rol.
The activities carried out over the last three decades by the Foundation - particularly in the area of the "Greater Mediterranean" - bear witness to a constant and concrete action that, precisely in these difficult times of war and pandemic, is an anchor of salvation to strengthen the spirit of peace and cooperation between peoples.
The adhesions of men and women, organisations and institutions from various countries contribute to supporting the institutional initiative by pursuing concrete objectives and effective means for the defence of the planet, respect for the fundamental rights of the human person, the coexistence of philosophies, faiths and religions, the fair distribution of goods and resources, the union of science and politics for the salvation of humanity and against all wars.

The United States of the World with the Fondazione Mediterraneo participated in the meeting on the theme "Volunteering as a precious asset" organised by "Padua European Capital of Volunteering", a founding member of the United States of the World.
On this occasion, the text of the amendment to the Third Sector Code was presented, an important turning point for voluntary associations that have long had to deal with suffocating bureaucracy. In Padua, advantage was taken of this occasion to take stock of the strategy to prepare the specifications that will be used to present the candidature of these organisations as World Heritage Sites, with the support of the 'United States of the World'.
There was also agreement on the need to establish a network of volunteer associations that looks to Europe and the world and is based on being-doing and being-change, with a more modern approach. Modern volunteering must be an agent of change and can no longer just stand by and watch.
