Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The DesTeenazione project, a national Italian initiative funded by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies alongside European funds (FSE+ and FESR), is expanding its efforts to support social inclusion and autonomy for youth aged 11 to 21. Initial activities focused on multifunctional spaces and community engagement, such as a 3.3 million euro center in Bari designed to prevent school dropout and social distress, and a ‘Silent Book Party’ in Caltanissetta to promote digital detox and community reflection. The project has since expanded its reach with new developments in Imperia, where a multifunctional space is set to open in mid-September, and in Termoli, where the center is hosting open days to showcase facilities like laboratories and music rooms. These efforts aim to involve young people directly in shaping seasonal activities, including workshops in creative pursuits like clay and body percussion. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: DesTEENazione project launches new youth spaces in Imperia and Termoli The DesTEENazione project is launching new youth-focused spaces and activities in Imperia and Termoli to promote social inclusion and autonomy for adolescents. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/desteenazione-project-launches-new-youth-spaces-in-imperia-and-termoli ### 2026-09-04: DesTeenazione project expands youth inclusion initiatives in Italy The DesTeenazione project, funded by the Italian government and the EU, is providing social inclusion and skill-building resources for youth aged 11-21 across various Italian municipalities. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/desteenazione-project-expands-youth-inclusion-initiatives-in-italy --- Cite as: DesTeenazione youth inclusion project in Italy.
