At Plenitude, we believe that sustainability means not only reducing the environmental impact of our activities, but also creating value for people and the community. That’s why we invest in projects that promote social inclusion, access to education, equal opportunities and collective well-being. This vision is what drives our support for Frequenza 200: a program promoted by WeWorld, a non-profit organization committed to defending the rights of the most vulnerable individuals. The program aims to combat educational poverty and restore the central importance of the right to education by promoting inclusion, well-being and equal opportunities for pre-adolescents and adolescents living in areas affected by social exclusion, school dropout, and a lack of guidance or role models.
Our support has helped Frequenza 200 grow, enabling the launch of new educational activities, the expansion of study spaces, and the engagement of more at-risk youth, enhancing education as a tool for inclusion and support for change.
The project focuses on addressing educational poverty among young people aged 11–25 in different neighbourhoods in 7 Italian cities: Milan (neighbourhoods of Barona, Giambellino, Corvetto and Ponte Lambro), Rome (San Basilio), Cagliari (Sant’Elia), Naples (Scampia), Catania (San Cristoforo), Bologna (San Vitale) and Aversa. The initiative combines academic support (after-school programs, tutoring, homework help) with actions aimed at listening and improving the psychological well-being of adolescents through dialogue and support services, as well as youth empowerment programmes. More than 1,300 young people have been supported in developing skills and independence to “take back their future”.
Additionally, Frequenza 200 centres remain open during the summer months – a critical time for students at risk of dropping out – offering continuity in education and a steady presence in the community even during school breaks.
