Our action framework is the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as set by the United Nations.
Contentativa services
We produce and publish content that usually does not concern the public debate. With videos, documentaries, online platforms and other tools, we design communication as best suited to the subject.
We provide empowerment to groups, organizations and institutions of civil society in matters of communication, fundraising, advocacy and structure / administration. For the above, we use tools such as workshops, webinars, trainings, counseling for a certain period of time and more.
We support CSR in order to link it with the Sustainable Development Goals. We understand CSR as a tool for improving the corporate environment, promoting fair trade, transparency and highlighting the company's good practices. We consider funding programs as an important key factor to help specific needs of civil society organizations, by cultivating environments of independence and respect for their constitutional principles.
