We view culture as a driver for building a new citizenry. Our work is divided into various areas of intervention. Encouraging active participation The Encouraging Active Participation Mission contributes to achieving the following Sustainable Development Goals The\u00a0Encouraging Active Participation Mission\u00a0operates under the umbrella of the Culture Goal\u00a0to extend and diversify the social base of participants in civic, cultural and democratic life, with a view to reducing inequalities and putting everyone in the best possible position to contribute to the common good. Further insights are available in:\u00a0\u201cParole, concetti e prospettive della partecipazione attiva\u201d (words, concepts and prospects for active participation) produced in collaboration with Chefare. Sustainable development is fairer and more inclusive because it involves the public, informal groups, the third sector, institutions, public bodies and businesses in a common, collaborative commitment to achieve the\u00a0Goals set down in the United Nations Agenda 2030\u00a0in full accordance with\u00a0art. 118\u00a0of the Italian Constitution. Only a minority of the population, however, currently takes part in collective processes. We take action on two types of gap: firstly, disparities in opportunities\u00a0caused by the shortcomings and intrinsic features of local areas, and secondly, the difficulty that growing segments of the population experience in\u00a0making their voices heard\u00a0in democratic arenas. Cultural demand and participation We extend cultural demand and participation and promote the\u00a0diversification\u00a0of the social base, by lobbying for increased access\u00a0to cultural experiences and incentivising\u00a0community welfare\u00a0involving interaction between\u00a0culture, health and well-being\u00a0with a specific emphasis on people\u00a0over 65. We also support mainly free cultural experiences\u00a0outside the home\u00a0and outside the confines of conventional cultural spaces. It was this approach that spawned\u00a0the La cultura dietro l\u2019angolo\u00a0(culture round the corner) programme, which brought the activities of several major Turin-based cultural institutions into local neighbourhoods and their congregation spaces,\u00a0the project Impact \u2013 Cultura e Salute: verso un nuovo welfare culturale (culture and health: towards a new cultural welfare)\u00a0that built a health and well-being pathway around the concept of culture, and\u00a0the experience of the Festival Partecipativi (participatory festivals). Partecipation and democracy We foster\u00a0active\u00a0participation\u00a0as one of the key elements of democracy. This means extending political literacy, encouraging more people to want to find out what is going on in the world and to know how to do so, expanding\u00a0public engagement with science\u00a0and with every aspect of active citizenship in general, including by supporting and collaborating with\u00a0Polo del \u2018900 and Biennale Democrazia. We have developed projects aimed at young people, such as\u00a0EUOVOTER\u00a0to encourage under-25s to vote in European Elections and the\u00a0Guidelines for supporting schools of politics 2024, to promote the road-testing of new models of political education. A similar purpose is served by the project Un bene confiscato \u00e8 un bene comune (confiscated goods are common goods), which was developed to promote awareness, recovery and re-use of assets confiscated from organised crime in their capacity as common goods capable of facilitating participation, inclusion and development. Cultural and congregation centres and neighbourhood social housing developments To boost participation across the catchment area, we take action to improve the infrastructure and sustainability of cultural and congregation centres, in line with the principle of\u00a0geographical rebalancing\u00a0between urban areas, hinterlands, mountainous areas and neighbourhoods, aimed at local regeneration involving multiple, conscious uses of\u00a0public space. Partecipation requires collective spaces. For this reason, we support the\u00a0\u201crete delle case del quartiere\u201d network of neighbourhood social housing facilities, new cultural centres, community centres and independent cultural centres as local hubs that foster relationships between people and spur them into action, through the call for proposals\u00a0entitled (participation spaces at the centre) and we provide these centres with incentives to enhance their approach to organisation and management by means of the SPACE_24 call for proposals. Under-35s as a driving force in society We support people under the age of 35\u00a0to help them recognise that they can be a driving force in society and its development, partly by means of\u00a0intergenerational dialogue. We stimulate their\u00a0social and civic engagement and their\u00a0dynamism\u00a0in democratic life, by encouraging their participation in the\u00a0governance\u00a0of public and third-sector bodies and strengthening\u00a0youth organisations. The SparkZ call for proposals is specifically designed to get young people involved and turn them into catalysts of civic participation and engagement on issues, needs and opportunities of their own choosing. In terms of data analysis, we conducted the \u201cValutazione del Servizio Civile Universale\u201d (evaluation of universal civil service), a biennial survey\u00a0aimed at studying the impact\u00a0of this experience on civic participation and future job opportunities. To reduce the geographical divide faced by young people living in alpine areas, we have launched \u00a0APICE: per l\u2019imprenditorialit\u00e0 giovanile delle aree alpine (youth entrepreneurship in mountainous areas)\u00a0with the Planet Goal\u2019s Boosting Innovation Mission and \u00a0in collaboration with\u00a0Entreprendre Piemonte. Co-design We offer\u00a0specialist skills\u00a0for the conception, implementation and evaluation of co-design, within a\u00a0regulatory framework\u00a0which, although incomplete, is nonetheless capable of spawning \u00a0collaborative processes\u00a0between policy-makers, third-sector bodies and active citizens. Studies and data on participation and non-participation To understand the reasons for the distress felt by people who remain excluded from participation processes, we first need to strengthen (or in some cases set up and commission) tools such as databases, surveys, mapping and research. We study and share knowledge about the parameters of participation, based on analysis, with a particular focus on exclusion and disengagement.","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"parent":9227,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20917","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry","post-inner"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
