Regenerative energy: supporting Farsi Prossimo Onlus to assist the youngest

Together to regenerate the future

With an inclusive approach, the project supported by Plenitude and active from October 2023 to May 2024 involved young people aged 10 to 17 living in the most peripheral and vulnerable neighborhoods of Milan and its hinterland. The project was created to address the educational and social needs of families in socially vulnerable conditions, providing study support and promoting activities to improve the psycho-physical well-being of young people. Specifically, Regenerative energy guided students toward achieving academic success, offering them opportunities for social interaction and personal growth. To achieve these goals, the activities focused on three main areas:

  • Study support

    Activities and workshops for primary and secondary school students, with particular attention to the most vulnerable youth.

  • Participatory workshops

    Extracurricular workshops on art, creative expression, and music aimed at developing their social and emotional skills.

  • Recreational and social activities

    Cultural visits and trips designed to enrich the experiences of young people and provide them with moments of leisure, well-being, and social interaction.

The project in detail

In recent years, partly due to the pandemic, the educational and social difficulties faced by many young people have intensified. In this context, the initiative was created to address these new needs with the aim of creating a supportive and growth-oriented environment for young people. Specifically:

  • Study support and prevention of school dropout

    Targeted support to help students improve their study methods. The assistance was designed to be inclusive, also addressing the needs of students with special educational needs (SEN) or specific learning disabilities (SLD).

  • Promotion of socialization and well-being

    Activities and meetings to encourage socialization among young people, helping them develop emotional and relational skills through interaction and sharing with others, creating moments of growth and mutual exchange.

  • Active engagement of young people

    An approach aimed at making young people active participants in the proposed activities, helping them feel more motivated, autonomous, and responsible for their growth journey.

The results achieved

The project involved approximately 370 young people in total, offering them various educational and recreational activities to meet diverse needs. Of these, about 145 young people participated in study support initiatives, 100 took part in recreational workshops, and around 125 had the opportunity to engage in leisure activities such as trips and excursions to discover new places and experience socialization and sharing with their peers.

Thanks to the contribution of Plenitude and the Regenerative energy project, it was also possible to shape and design the artistic works of 15 young people from Cernusco sul Naviglio, leading to the publication of the book "A Thief in the Picture".
