BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANISATION
The Machiavelli Centre was founded in 1978. One of our principal objectives is to promote the interaction between students and rea daily life in Florence and in Italy, by providing linguistic and cultural tools and creating opportunity for exchanges. Since 1988, the school has been part of TANDEM NETWORK, an International Association of Language Schools. Since 2003 the Centre is officially recognised from the Ministry of Education; in 2005, it obtained the ISO9001:2000 certification of quality. In 2008, the School was recognised as a consultancy and training organisation for Lifelong Learning accredited by the Region of Tuscany. The Centre operates within EU programmes and in training activities. In 2012 our centre obtained the European Language Label for creating a innovative multimedia English language learning program for blind and visually impaired students. In the last 7 years realized several multilateral and mobility projects within the EU Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 and the EU Programme ERASMUS PLUS, with partners from AT, BE, BG, FR, DE, EL, ES, IE, NL, PL, PT, RO, SE, TR, UK.
HOW THE ORGANISATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT RESULTS
Centro Machiavelli will contribute to the dissemination of the project results by several channels:

• Spreading the project results within primary and secondary schools with whom it collaborates in several European projects (mobility, strategic partnership projects ect..), to transfer knowledge about the School&Work project.
• Informing about School&Work project during all the dissemination events of our own projects that will be good occasion for the promotion of the achieved results.
• Sharing information through its network of transnational contacts and national ones such as the University of Florence, and more specifically the Faculty of Education, with who innovative projects aimed to the reduction of the early school leaving phenomenon are in phase of implementation.
