- The dote (literally endowment or dowry) is the voucher tool used for the development of a quasi-market approach in the provision of employment services (after introducing it in other policy areas), imposed by the Lombardy region to provinces and local providers (Sabatinelli and Villa 2011).
- Residual funds were individuated later on and used to integrate this amount and finance eight more vouchers.
- In the province of Brescia the targeted employment-insertion of disabled people concerns 200 persons a year, of which 100 forms the basis of national norms on compulsory hiring of disabled persons (national law nr. 68 introduced in 1999).
- Other activities carried out by the association include: study help; Pedibus (initiative to collectively walk children to and from school, in order to reduce the private use of cars for short itineraries active in various municipalities in Italy); vegetable gardening with children; leisure and socialisation activities for families; Scuola-Mestieri, apprenticeship project; various initiatives for self-financing of the association (e.g. selling handcrafts); and solidarity with Croatian households.
