Inclusion programmes for neurodivergent youth in Italy
Entities: Associazione Crescere Insieme · Carabinieri · Enel Cuore · Autismo Abruzzo APS · L'Aquila Social Hub
Overview
In early July, the second edition of “La Fattoria dei Sorrisi” brought neuro‑divergent youngsters and their siblings to a farm in Celico, Calabria, where they took part in hands‑on activities such as egg collecting and pasta making. A parallel initiative in Sicily’s Scicli and Ispica combined heritage exploration with inclusive education, linking cultural sites to the participants’ learning experience.
Two weeks later, the model expanded to the north and centre of the country. In Rimini, the Carabinieri attended the launch of “Lavor‑Io Lab”, a programme for people with intellectual disabilities that offers greenhouse work, beekeeping, a library‑playroom and craft workshops. In L’Aquila, the “L’Aquila Social Hub – Officina per l’Inclusione” opened, providing autism‑focused workshops, housing‑skill training, family support and job‑placement pathways. Both projects involve local authorities, NGOs and private partners, illustrating a growing network of region‑wide social‑inclusion efforts for neurodivergent individuals across Italy.
