The Piedmont Regional Council has given the go-ahead to the “Piedmont for Young People” project.
Programmes aimed at social inclusion
The three-year project will provide funding for programmes aimed at social inclusion for 15 to 34-year olds for an investment of €4.46 million, of which €3.69 million is state funded and with €522.2 in regional co-financing. The aim of the call for proposals are many: to accompany young people in their occupational and social integration, to encourage active participation in political life, to promote correct lifestyles, to encourage the practice of sport, and to raise awareness of environmental issues. In order to carry out the planned activities, the municipalities will be able to call on the support of other local authorities, community centres, associations, educational institutions and third sector organizations.
Building the Piedmont of tomorrow
“It is essential to make young people feel an active part of their territory, offering them work as well as social and sports opportunities. This programme responds to that need,- says councillor for youth policies Marina Chiarelli. -The involvement of the 15-34 age group is no coincidence: this segment of the population plays a crucial role in the Piedmont of tomorrow. It constitutes the basis for building the workforce of the future, supporting economic growth, promoting innovation and, more generally, generating social and cultural dynamics capable of fostering the progress of the entire territory.”
