Thanks to the experiences of collaboration with the poorest communities in northern Vietnam, GTV has developed over the years the conviction that, in order for a real change to take place, a long-term accompaniment is necessary. The long-term stay in a specific territory allows to improve the knowledge of the area, to integrate with the development strategies of the communities and the local government, to monitor and evaluate the impact of the actions in the medium and long term. Furthermore, it is necessary that an intervention is able to develop in various directions, in order to fully act on the shortcomings that underlie poverty: education, food, rural development, environment, water and hygiene. Here are the sectors in which International Cooperation projects and the Distance Adoption program are developed. Staying in the lodgings of private houses with tourists who travel with the tours organized by GTV through Solidarity Travel is also a way of supporting the income of the community. Only with such an integrated approach, with a lasting presence on the territory and with the establishment of a relationship of trust and collaboration with the community of beneficiaries, GTV believes it can contribute to triggering concrete development processes and can guarantee their duration over time. . All this is what GTV indicates with the word 'Community Cooperation'. This term, however, acquires greater significance when the Vietnamese community is joined by a job in the Trentino community, the area where GTV has its headquarters. In Trentino GTV works to help make citizens 'citizens of the world' by implementing projects and actions of Education for Global Citizenship: it means stimulating reflection on the meaning of the most pressing issues dear to GTV (for example the theme of integrated rural development or access to water) which are often not only exclusively linked to distant places but have repercussions or similarities on 'our' local. All this also brings with it a critical thought on the meaning of local and global in today's society.
