Compagnia Elefanti is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2009 with the aim to practise, to promote and to diffuse the theatre's and circus' culture and art . The association runs in one of the most disadvantaged and non miserable italian city ,Naples, where during the last years, throughout festivals, free exhibitions in street and professional trainings, most of all for the part of youth with less opportunities, has tried first of all to sensibilise these areas culturally and therefore to valorize and upgrade them, involving such kids in performances in their districts of origin.

"Compagnia Elefanti" recognizes in the Lllp(Life Long Learning program) a further instrument to pursue its means in line with its personal social mission, widening its horizons in a european dimension creating meeting opportunities, knowledge sharing between youth of our area and their european colleagues.
