Dalla Terra alla Luna

Fondazione Dalla Terra alla Luna ETS is a family-founded organisation in Ferrara, Italy, dedicated to supporting autistic people as they grow and build greater autonomy. Working alongside families, it develops activities that recognise each person’s individual abilities, pace and way of learning, with a focus on preparing for adult life and the “During and After Us” journey.

A central initiative is its Social Farm, a shared project that creates opportunities to practise everyday skills, work and cooperation. Gardening and agricultural activities let participants learn through planting, caring for crops and following the seasons. The foundation also offers De Gustibus, a food-based programme featuring cooking workshops, fresh-pasta making and community tasting events. Its activities include an independent-living gym and projects supporting families and caregivers as they plan for the future.

The organisation raises awareness and brings people together through events such as the Camminiamo Insieme solidarity walk. It also offers solidarity favours made by participants for special occasions, helping supporters contribute to the Social Farm project.
