BRINDISI – Last May 29th in Brindisi, at “Movimenti Laboratorio Urbano”, the provincial delegations of the regional organizations participating in the Puglia Third Sector Forum, in the presence of the regional spokesperson Davide Giove, established the Brindisi Third Sector Forum. The assembly appointed members of the provincial coordination Vincenzo Catamo for Arci Brindisi, Giuseppe Valerio D’Ancona for Legacoop, Francesco Fiera for Modavi, Cosimo Galasso for Unpli, Maurizio Guadalupi for Cnca, Francesco Parisi for Confcooperative Federsolidarietà, Adriana Policicchio for Auser, Ivano Rolli for Csi, Antonio Verdura for the Emmanuel Community Association.
Francesco Parisi, former member of the Welfare Consultation of the National Third Sector Forum and of the Coordination of the Puglia Third Sector Forum, was elected spokesperson. He has the mandate to reorganize the provincial Third Sector network, restore visibility and recognition to it, accompany it in its ability to express its representation so that, within 24 months at the most, a territorial assembly – which the members hope to be much larger – can autonomously express their representation at a territorial level.

It was officially established on 19 June 1997 and is a recognized social part.
