Italian youth community projects wrap up in Ancona and Belvedere Ostrense

The Caritas Diocesana of Ancona‑Osimo, together with the Italian Episcopal Conference, concluded a two‑week programme for a group of teenagers from Kherson, Ukraine. The participants spent fifteen days in the region engaging in cultural visits, sports, workshops and community activities, ending with a farewell celebration at the pastoral centre.

In the municipality of Belvedere Ostrense, the 2026 edition of the "Ci Sto? Affare Fatica!" project finished, involving ten local young people in active citizenship tasks, environmental care and community service under the guidance of a tutor. The municipal administration praised the youths for their responsibility and collaboration, highlighting the programme’s role in strengthening local ties and civic awareness.
