Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project GIOVANI A 360° arises from the sharing of objectives between Rete Europa Piemonte (a network represented by the Cooperative O.R.So.) and the Piedmont Region. The common interest is to promote active participation and direct meetings between decision-makers and young adults to address issues relevant to the youth population, making a path whose results will be used to revise the regional law n.16 / 95 "Coordination and support activities for young people."The MAIN OBJECTIVES are:Improve the skills and key competences of young people, promoting their participation in democratic life and active citizenshipEncourage debate on some issues concerning the youth, promoting the active involvement of young people in the discussion on the issues and priorities covered by the legislative review.The project will be implemented by some Piedmont ORGANISATIONS working regularly with young people, even under the Erasmus+ programme: cooperatives Vedogiovane, Stranaidea and Vedogiovane Asti and the community association CISV – Comunità Impegno Servizio Volontariato.PARTICIPANTS will be at least 300 young people aged between 18 and 28, ensuring gender balance. The partnership will manage to reach young people all over the Piedmont. We will involve both young people with specific experience in certain sectors (culture, ecology, work, etc ...) and other without specific experience.The PREPARATION includes:Informative campaign throughout the Piedmont region, using databases of the partners, services that deal with young people, universities, etc...In each of the eight provinces of Piedmont, an experiential workshop (1-2 days) with a specific theme: Environment; Job; Citizenship and legality; Intercultural; Entrepreneurship and new jobs; Housing; Social economy; Culture.
