Associazione Genitori Bambini Down (AGBD ODV ETS) is a nonprofit association based in Arona, Italy, dedicated to supporting people with Down syndrome and helping them develop their potential. Its work is guided by the belief that everyone has the right to a happy, autonomous life and the opportunity to contribute actively to society. The association explains that Down syndrome is a genetic condition, also known as trisomy 21, and highlights the importance of creating supportive conditions that foster personal independence.

AGBD offers autonomy workshops and organizes activities shaped by needs identified within its community. These include workshops on specific topics, such as art therapy, alongside projects and events. The organization also builds collaborations with public and private local bodies to support its initiatives and broaden opportunities for participants. People can learn about its work, take part in collaborations, or support its mission through donations and Italy’s 5×1000 tax allocation. Based in Arona, AGBD shares information and updates through its website and social media channels.
