Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 50 countries and more than 25 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping people survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933, the IRC provides lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees fleeing war or disaster. Today, the IRC operates in over 50 countries, working to restore safety, dignity, and hope to millions of displaced individuals.

Following assessments conducted in Italy in January and July 2017, several critical protection gaps were identified in the assistance provided to refugees and migrants. These include mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), assistance for unaccompanied children, information provision, and legal support.

To address these gaps, the IRC established a presence in Italy. Programs include Refugee.Info (a web-based information platform), child protection for unaccompanied children and trafficking victims, mentoring for the socio-economic inclusion of refugee youth, Women Protection and Empowerment (WPE), and education programs (such as social-emotional learning and healing classrooms).

Since March 2024, IRC Italy has been implementing the AMIF-funded Theory of Change project, supporting educational professionals, adolescents (ages 11-19), and families with migrant backgrounds in fostering language learning and early integration into host communities. IRC’s role includes developing a Toolkit on inclusive teaching methodologies and school environments, along with a Game Bank for education professionals.

It will also include a Game Bank, offering activities to enhance learning and foster inclusive, cross-cultural educational environments.
