Giovani e Milano. A research-action path between Protagonism, Policies, Spaces and Territory

The image depicts an infographic titled "Giovani e Milano," featuring a detailed mapping of youth geographies and projects in the city of Milan. Centered is a map of the urban territory dotted with numerous colored pins indicating key spaces and entities, while on the left and at the bottom, legends explain the themes (education, sustainability, sports, art) and the types of subjects involved (associations, businesses, informal networks). The bottom section systematically lists the surveyed locations, organized by the city's nine Municipalities.

Giovani e Milano project aims to develop a research-action pathway capable of supporting the Fondazione di Comunità's intervention in support of young people, encouraging a new season of promotion of "innovative area-based youth policies". The action-research pathway will bring together, among themselves and with Fondazione di Comunità, young people, spaces and territories, local and non-local best practices, experts, local authorities such as the Municipalities and the Municipality of Milan, involving them in a co-learning process with the aim of identifying guidelines to promote and accompany a new generation of youth policies, and promoting a discussion on the governance and sustainability of these experiences.
