Borse del Cuore: new horizons for inclusion
A journey full of opportunities
Borse del Cuore project, promoted by the Francesca Rava Foundation, is aimed at young people in vulnerable conditions, fostering their academic, social, and professional integration.
It also provides concrete tools and structured support, investing in education, guidance, and skill development to encourage young people's entry into the workforce.
Plenitude's support for the project has enabled 15 young people identified by the Francesca Rava Foundation to benefit, between September 2023 and September 2024, from unique training experiences and to strengthen their personal and professional growth journey.
The project in detail
Borse del Cuore project aims to help the young people involved develop their personal and professional skills, encouraging their autonomy and inclusion in the workforce. Each activity has been designed to meet the specific needs of the individual participants through, for example, guidance and counselling, specific training for CV writing, experiential workshops, cultural activities and BLS courses (Basic Life Support).
