'Fabbrica' is born: 27 million euros for new spaces dedicated to young people
Published
The Italian government has officially launched 'Fabbrica – Spazi civici per i giovani' (Factory – Civic spaces for young people), a major project that provides 27 million euros to create new gathering places. The initiative was presented in Ascoli Piceno, the city that holds the title of Italian Capital of Culture for 2026.
The main objective of the call for proposals is to redevelop urban areas and transform them into centers where young people can meet, study, and participate in cultural or sporting activities. The Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, emphasized the importance of this investment, stating that in this way, the new generations are finally becoming protagonists of the country's social life.
The project aims to combat youth isolation by offering concrete alternatives to time spent in front of screens. Through these new spaces, local administrations and third-sector associations will be able to collaborate to promote inclusion, volunteering, and creativity, creating a stronger bond between young people and the territory in which they live.
The financial resources will be distributed through a public call that will allow various Italian municipalities to submit their projects. The selection criteria will prioritize areas that present greater social difficulties, with the intent of reducing the gap between the different areas of the country.
In conclusion, 'Fabbrica' represents a significant step toward strengthening youth policies in Italy. As 2026 approaches, attention toward the role of young people in society is growing, and this investment aims to build a future in which every young person can feel like an active and valued part of their community.
